It mostly depends on if your characters live a tribal life or not.
In sunseeker tribes there is not really any eternal bonding since it works under harem structures organized around one or several males (nunhs). The eternal bond is just a social construct like a wedding is IRL.Â
Now then you also have numerous miqo'te that actually don't live in tribes (and I'm starting to suspect it might even be a majority from the portrayal we see ingame), and those seem to flow more freely regarding traditions. A lot of them are integrated into the daily lives of other races in cities and seem to have forgotten partially or totally about Sunseeker harems.
I recall a few examples like in Ala-Ghiri during Stormblood (which is the most recent memory of it I can remember, but hardly the only one) where several ala-mighan sunseeker females are shown to live in your standard family, or even pledge to live their lives with a single partner (cf the quest with the Garlean centurio sheltered in that same city).
In short, whatever you choose to do can potentially be justified by lore if your sunseeker acts outside of a tribe. Some might still follow tribal traditions and harems, some might comform to more hyuran customs, or even local ones!
Unfortunately I don't have many sources or don't recall well how weddings or eternal bonds are handled all across Eorzea and if a partner takes the last name of the other one, or not. The main issue being that most NPCs ingame are rarely portrayed with their last names, or at best, with titles. And actual married couples are even rarer.
Keep in mind that if you want to play a tribal sunseeker, there can sometimes be several Nunhs in tribes when those are large enough (above 10 females per Nunh or so).
In any case, naming conventions seem to only cover the case of children so...
