Will we ever reach a point where kids take on their mom's last names?

damn straight.
I view my only true role in life is to preserve my family name, and to not disgrace the name. Now, if I have a girl, I wouldn't care if she wants to keep the name in marriage. I'd actually enjoy that thought.
I just hope I can make something of the name in this day and age... it's kind of watered down, and nobody has really done anything of mention for a long time. Good ol' Uncle Benjamin was a founding father.. I want to top that man.

I wouldn't care much. Some cultures actually do have lineage connected to the mother's side. But even then, if I recall correctly, it's a connection to the males on the mother's side.

I dropped my dad's last name and took my mom's maiden name as my last name, a couple of years ago. That family is the one I'm proud of, and the one that I want to "continue". Couldn't really care less if Dad's side of the family (more or less) ceased to exist.
