It seems incredibly silly to go through the hassle unless you got married and took your wife's last name. My last name came from my parents, I guess I respect that and them a bit too much to toss their last name aside to jump on board my ancestors because I thought it was cool.
Especially given that if your ancestor's family name is different from your parents' name someone must have been disrespectful along the line...yeah I don't really see how it is respectful or disrespectful to do that. Seems kind of old fashioned
