How does family name differ between a typical stepfamily and a typical nuclear family?

What will be an ideal response?


In a typical stepfamily, re-wedded bio-mom's names may differ from their kids' names; without adoption, stepsiblings have different last names. In the typical nuclear family, adults and kids usually have the same last name. There is less chance of identity and loyalty confusions.
