I just realized that as of right now, there is only one male child with my mother's maiden name in the extended family. I have a few male adult cousins on that side but I think only one of them -- father of the aforementioned family name carrier-onner - is not through procreating yet. The others have daughters.
And my brother is the last with my father's last name, and he doesn't have kids. My only male cousin with that last name has daughters.
Huh. That's actually kind of sad.

That's why they did it, actually, and it turned out ok as their first kid is a son.
