If it's really stressing you out that bad, then go take on your mother's last name or maiden name. If you are a guy and you have kids later without changing your name, then tell the mate to give the kids their last name instead. You could possibly take on her last name as well. It doesn't have to be repeated, but if you want to break your paternal ties to anything concerning you in name.... Go for it. If you're a female then you can definitely break from paternal ties even more, since you don't have his paternal lineage (you could only check it by using his or a male sibling's DNA). A female taking her mom's last name, along with multiple copies of her mtDNA is dead set.
Does a name determine who you are?
