I have absolutely never heard of such a thing, unless the mom slept around and many years later the child found his father. It is absolutely completely weird. If someone introduced his kid to me and it had a different last name, then l would assume that was his step kid. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? What's next? Taking your wife's name at marriage?
I know a guy who took his wife's last name. His dad was an abusive a55. Really there is no logical reason one way or the other, only tradition based in the same tradition that said only men could own property. I could see a kid not wanting his dad's last name if his dad was an a55.
