Non-married couples exist. (And maybe marriage doesn't exist in Remnant ? Who knows ? This would be kind of weird but it's possible) Well, they can easily be married without Summer changing her surname, passing it down to her daughter, why not? Or maybe Ruby was originally Xiao Long but then asked Taiyang to change her surname to honor her mother's memory.

What bothers me is how "sorrowful" Taiyang jumps back so fast in Raven's case. Seems like he loved Raven deeply and had Yang with her, but, after she leaves, he almost immediately picks Summer on board. Yang and Ruby have just a 2 year difference. I can imagine a man losing his big love, busy with a newborn girl on his hands, to START developing a relationship with his another close comrade after a year or so, but to straight pick her as his new wife and make another daughter? Was Summer just a Replacement Goldfish ("me needs a wife and a mom for my daughter ASAP, let's pick the closest one") or did he love them both unable to truly choose one? I just dunno!
