Hey there!
Personally I would avoid anything with the beasttribe and slavery; especially due to them seeming to temper their victims, and I there is no cure for tempering. But I'm not 100% sure on it. My interest in the four old primals and their story is nearly non-existent, but I believe that was a part of that particular beasttribe.
Just go for Ala Mhigo scum! Although admittedly he has to be at least... 26 or so to be born there (I'm bad at calculating okay?!) Can always be born in Little Ala Mhigo as well
As for lastnames, I believe that they are names who tell something the person has done in life worth of note; can be passed on to offspring, who in turn can shed the last name again and change it later on in life. Can also be a trait of sorts, so Swifthawk is surely a fitting name for a highlander!
That said, my highlander lore is meh at best, and I know a bit about the Ala Mhigan folk, but that is about it, so I may not be the best to give you advice on this.
Gay couples seem to be no problem whatsoever in FFXIV! But. BUT. Interracial buggery is a thing what is highly frowned upon! (You find a gay miqo'te/hyur couple eventually, and their sexuality was no problem for their people, however the interracial love was)
The marriage you see ingame is taken with a grain of salt; I have a hard time seeing that interracial marriages happen all that often, if not super duper rare due to Eorzea being super racist. But overall in lore it is okay to sleep around with whoever you want, as long it ain't another race (and of course, that happens as well! But people may respond not so positive on it IC!)
Hope that helped a bit
