SURNAMES - THE SMALLER AMERICAN FAMILY SOMETIMES OPTS FOR A FAMILIAL SURNAME ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT.

The typical American family today has an extended

family tree that is more of an inverted pyramid

as fewer children are born to couples.

In some families, the surname is becoming extinct because of the

historically low birth rate.

But, in most places, it is perfectly OK to name a child, even to a

married couple, without using the father's surname.

Some couples are opting to use the rarer surname to preserve it.
