Optional: Share your Last Name with your Partner

How about this: on the page to offer partnership to someone ( https://secondlife.com/my/partners.php ) let's add an option to offer to share your last name with your partner. If your partner accepts the proposal, their last name will be replaced with the last name of the offering partner.
The partner having their last name replaced will keep this new last name as long as they remain partnered and will have their last name fall back to their previous last name if and when unpartnered.
Using this option will add extra cost to the partner offer, about the same as what is paid to change last our own last name. Will be paid by the offering partner.
At any time, any partner can decide to break the partnership. The one who does the break will have to pay as much for having their previous last name back or they can select an cheaper option to break the partnership and revert back to a regular Resident last name.

It's a cute idea, though I could definitely see some kind of black market growing for rare last names where users pay someone to partner them, get an unusual last name, then unpartner and keep the name.

This is adorable. I would absolutely partner someone to snatch their last name.

If this happens, it must be OPTIONAL please. I do not want my actual username to change just because I got smitten for some dude for a while.

Oof I can see all kinds of issues with this, especially the unpartnering, with all the drama that often goes on and the threats to unpartner if they dont get their own way, or the abuse forcing someone to unpartner. You can always set a display name which is what I do so I have my married name and my maiden name underneath. Seen people pay to change their last name to that of their partners and well then seem to be collecting last names from the current selection lol.

Cool idea! I see a potential issue if the name already exists in SL. That could happen and not allow the name change. Good luck though on this suggestion!

This makes 100% sense and should in my opinion be implemented!
