We know an Indian couple who are outwardly pretty Westernized, but they are first-generation immigrants and we're pretty sure they were an arranged marriage. The wife kept her last name, but their daughter's last name is a third thing that seems somewhat derived from the husband's first name... like Betty Milkshake is married to Jacob Hamburger, and their kid is Sarah Jacobson. I don't know if it's a tradition I'm not aware of, or if they just pulled it out of their ass.
