True.

In real life, that is basically what family names are for. When I
first joined BM, I even miss understood the rule, thinking there could
be no two equal family names. Then I read it again and realized it was
actually the noble name that couldn't be repeated. Thought: what a
nonsense, but okay.

I later understood family names weren't even showing up on messages
and such, but since we have them working now, we should also give them
the purpose they actually serve in real life.
