Also I found the first names consist of names that are most likely, in fact, lastnames in ascii. Heikkila is most probably, really, only, a common Finnish surname Heikkilä. This makes me wonder how much overlap and discrepancy the lists might actually have.

Why wouldn't she just use your last name when you got married? Seems like a pretty simple solution.
I don’t get why people still take it for granted that a woman should change her name on getting married and use the husband’s name. People should have the names assigned to them at birth or whatever they’ve changed it to as per their wish. I personally find the changing of names on marriage as an erasure of identity, even if the person is ok with it because of internalization or cultural conditioning.
The comment you're responding comes from someone who in another thread demanded that global names for other things conform to their own culturally-specific and creatively exsanguinated expectations. Earlier in their comment history you can find them complaining about "South Asians" and justifying casual racism by claiming they "optimise for efficiency". Another page or two back, and they're describing sex as an obligation of marriage.
The point being, reactionary bigots tend to out themselves, and that's the obnoxious worldview driving by here. Erasure of someone's identity in conformance to external expectations is something that - remarkably - remains a thriving and actively promoted idea. This makes it all the more important to confront and openly, firmly reject.

#103The exhaustive list only has 90K surnames, whilst Japan has 300K variations of surname.

> Seems like a pretty simple solution So is changing her name. But people shouldn't need to do gymnastics for such a trifling matter. This is like cutting a foot to fit a shoe. Cultures have different naming conventions, and not all cultures pressure women to take names from husbands. The real simple solution is to accept that the common ground of name form is a string. One string.
If you move to another country I am of the opinion that you should have a certain respect for the conventions of the welcoming country. So you might not agree with their naming conventions, but why should I expect the country to change just because I show up on the scene? In an English speaking county, having a separate surname aids in sorting and presentation of family unities. The character set is typically A-Z. In…
One does not agree or disagree with naming conventions, one merely comes from a place that has one. Everything would be a lot simpler if theres just a single Name field accepting any Unicode string in forms across the globe. The goal should be to describe a person, not to propagate local naming conventions.

#105I have strong doubts this is exhaustive or that it could be. For one, it doesn't contain the name "Genoveffa" which is the italianized form of Jennifer. There are wikipedia-level people named thus, so it's not that uncommon.[0] There's an infinite amount of misspelled/localized names outside their country of origin e.g. Maicol for Michael, Sandiago for Santiago, Uilliam, Villiam, Willian etc etc Aditional "anecdata":…
Yes, my two first names are missing on the list.
