It actually isn't odd in real life for the female parent (married) to keep their last name especially if they have a perticular profession. A friend of mine's mother is an ophthalmologist and goes my her maiden name. Qrow might be a little harder, but considering how young both Ruby and Yang where when Summer died, they probably just knew him as "uncle Qrow".

I think the reason Yang and Ruby have didn't last names is that after Summer died, Ruby took her last name as a momento or Ruby tries to honor her mother by taking it.

And I suspect Taiyang and Summer were probably married considering the way Ruby and Yang saw her as "their" mother. "She was like, Super mom. Baker of cookies and slayer of giant monsters." Yang
