Why do people keep insisting Ruby has her mum's name because Summer and Taiyang weren't married? What's even the logic there?

For a parent to give the child their surname to a child, all they must do is legally recognise them as theirs. Otherwise unmarried couples would never be able to register the child as belonging to both of them... or that lesbian couple in my country would have never been able to give parental rights to the male friend who donated them his sperm, and have the baby registered with three surnames.

Maybe Summer just wanted to pass down her surname.
