Interesting discussion. In my family, my wife’s family name is dying out, because none of her brothers had children.

There are extended family members with the name but not in her family line.

I wonder if a number of family names die out just due to marriage and women changing their name, and the children have the husband surname??? Prime candidates for this would be a family of sisters only. When they get married the family name goes away.
