Don't NPCs use the last half of your name as a surname in dialogue, though? I don't remember any specific examples but I'm almost sure NPCs call you "Miss/Sir <"last name">" once or twice. Granted, that's wrong, and maybe only hyur NPCs do it or something, if one were to make a list of the instances it happens, but I want to think it happens. Would that I remembered anything specific. 
As for how we handle it in RP, Shoshopu doesn't mind at all just being called "Shopu". She sees it more as being a shortening of her first name than anything, which, I mean, it is, technically. Fyrilsunn gets called "Sir Fiandoensyn" every now and then too and I think he doesn't mind it as much as strangers just shortening his name to "Fyril", for example. I think as far as in speaking and paperwork and stuff it's fine to use Roegadyn (Sea Wolf) last names in the way we'd use surnames, even though it's not technically a family name per se. I should stop posting on Fyrilsunn's behalf since he's got an account to lurk with now
