It may not be cleaving too close to the lore, but I've inferred a familial line with my Lalas by having them have a pseudo-Coco Brothers-style naming convention for the boys. To wit, they are all A-A-nji so that their last name can be Gegenji.
Zozonji Gegenji
Gogonji Gegenji
Chachanji Gegenji
I could also explain this away, though, as just a family practice - done to keep the name "Gegenji" continuing from generation to generation. Possibly after the original Gegenji who started the family of smiths in the first place all those cycles ago. Since Doma is sorta not-Japan, I've leaned a bit on the patriarchal lineage format for my little Doman Lalafell family, so it sorta-kinda makes sense that the name would be carried on by the boys?
As for the girls, I've had them share the last syllable of their mother. Zozonji Gegenji married Jijinya Jinya. Their daughter is Nininya Ninya. So, in that way, a bit of the mother's line is carried along as well. However, it's not as consistent since the wife is married in and thus will change every generation.
So, for example, let's say Chachan got married to a girl - let's call her Tetesti Testi, keeping her a Dunesfolk for simplicity's sake. They have a boy and a girl. The boy would be named something like "Raranji Gegenji" while the girl would be named "Nenesti Nesti" or something.
... Then again, I put way too much thought into goofy little nuances like this, so your mileage (malmage?) may vary.
(Plus, being the dork he is... he'd likely name one of them after his big brother. So we'd have two Gogonjis. I'd likely just refer to Chachan's kid as "Gogon Jr" or something.
