I agree with the fact that it’s easier for everyone to share the same name, especially when one parent travels alone with the kids. It’s such a faff (with good reasons) if you don’t have the same.
The issue is more that it’s often assumed that the wife has to take the husband’s name by default, rather than it being ultimately a choice between the couple.

Well wouldn’t mind if it was the other way around, but I appreciate that there is a rule, so no one gets offended when you ditch a generational name.
