New naming system? - idea

While going home, I thought: "hey, what if we had more naming and such options?" and now I'm here

Middle names:
Middle names are set as normal names, but you have to say the middle after saying the real name
Example:
Mom James names son Jack James, mom says "you are Adam" and sons name turns into Jack Adam James
Only moms and fathers can only name their own children with middle names

Speaking of fathers
Fathers:
Right now, the only parent everyone has are mothers, so I though of a simple, but cooperative system
When a mother gives birth, during the span where the baby can't to anything e.g. pick up things, a male player and a female player can become parents of that child, existing and future children as well
To become a father, the two players have to say: "NAME is my wife/husband" in a span of 30sec
Keep in mind, being husband and wife is till death so if one of them dies, then the father for example still sees the kids as sons and daughter, not cousins or something

After that, all children of that mother become the fathers children, of course being also name their middle name
If one of the parents dies, the other one can marry another player, but all existing children and their new father or mother will see a step-son/daughter/mother/father, but all future children will just see mother and father


I enjoy the simpler things in life, but only if I'm calm.

What if you say: while standing on the same tile
"I do"

So you can do it when younger and to avoid long names.

Any two players can get married. Then the kid has two parents.

If you had to marry someone with a different last name it would create a new incentive to connect to other towns...

You are Oluwadunmininu Ethanalexander Vandenlangenber.

No support, it just makes harder to curse names.

I think that you should be able to change your last name.... if two people don't have last name and get married, the wife becomes the "eve of  the family and can make her own last name that will be given to her children.

I forgot to mention, to curse somebody, you can just say the first and last name, ignoring the middle name
