that would have been his original name regardless, especially if they introduced him via flashback, and if he changed back to his own name after Yang's mom left, he could have reverted to the name after summers death too.

regardless, that theory has less weight to me than the separate reasoning given in that same post at the end, that they are famous and so keep their unmarried name for publicity.
