The Spanish system is superior:
FirstName(s) Parent1LastName Parent2LastName
To clarify it’s the first last name of both parents, and you can choose the order with the condition all children of same parents must have the same order.
flamingo said, a couple comments up, that it’s the first last name of both parents. So Child1 should be B J or J B, Child2 should be the same and Child3 should hence be B B, B J, J B, or J J depending on what 1 and 2 chose. Right?

Just pushes the issue down one generation…
Parent1 B C, Parent2 J K
…
Parent3 B A, Parent4 J H
…
Child1 and Child2 become Parent5 and Parent6
Parent5 C K, Parent6 A H
…
it seems to work pretty well (ends up preferring people with two surnames, which is an ok amount of surnames)

The whole system collapses if you have a child with someone who has “chosen” a different family surname order.
