      Parent1 B C, Parent2 J K

      Makes Child1 C K

      (or Child1 K C)

      …

      Parent3 B A, Parent4 J H

      Makes Child2 A H

      (or Child2 H A)

      …

      Child1 and Child2 become Parent5 and Parent6

      Parent5 C K, Parent6 A H

      Child3 K H

      (or Child3 H K)

      …

      it seems to work pretty well (ends up preferring people with two surnames, which is an ok amount of surnames)

        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?

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