A coworker of mine did this. He and his new wife took parts of their last names and blended them together to create a unique new last name for both of them.
Terrible idea. People clearly already struggling at naming kids. Coming up with a family name will be endless letters making the wrong sound, random sections being ‘silent’, so many puns or references to things, corporate advertising “oh it’s the X.com family!”… Terrible, just terrible.
Are you saying that the people who came up with the original surnames are more qualified than people today? At least with my idea when people come up with a new name they have to use it themselves, rather than their defenseless children.
When people get married they should come up with a completely new last name for them both.

I hope it wasn’t a tragedeigh

We could always do what Iceland does.
I’m sure that will scale up to much larger populations without issues.
