So my lalafell, Caidenden Caiden... her "surname" is Caiden because her first name is Caidenden, not because she's from a long line of people called Caiden.
Otherwise you'd end up with a LOT of lalafell with exactly the same name and no way to differentiate between individuals beyond a "Sr/Jr" suffix. xD
Ahhh, you're right. I nearly forgot about that. I guess it wouldn't make sense for a Lalafell to pass down a surname. Hyur parents it is then. Thanks though!
EDIT: Unless my Miqo'te adapted Lalafell's naming convention out of respect for his adoptive mother? Say, Z'khuva Hakuva? While his adoptive mother's name is Ninimu Nimu...?
