Sylvie has her mother's name because her father's name is goofy. I think Truss already covered that.

As for Gryphon's kids, since their mother kept her own name, their parents figured they'd let the kids pick for themselves. Kate and Len leaned one way, the twins (probably because of Priss, who seems to be in charge) the other. No big mystery.

As for Corwin, he has his mother's name because she's the one primarily raising him, because hers is the more important lineage in the structure of his life, and because his parents aren't married anyway.
