Imagine 5 billion people having the same last names. It wouldn't help a lot.

Do you know any AdamSONS ? Names are derivatives of people usually, taken from the father's trade (at first), i.e.: if your dad was a carpenter - last name would be carpenter; if your dad was a fisherman - last name would be fisher, etc, etc. Names identify who people are ! When the names became too common or familiar, middle names were added. Just think of everyone - all 6 Billion of us on the earth named either, Adam (for males) and Eve (for females) mass confusion or what?

Um, it's a patriarchal religion, shouldn't there just be one last name? Adam Missnaribinside, maybe.

I would not like to be one of those 2.
PS. 30 years on one Q and still haven't given up shows how persistent you are!

when we all got to be the same we were named after our natures ,our jobs ,our nationalities ,traits ,not just our fathers
recall the names in the bible
have meanings to tell them apart
say beloved of god means x
god caused his lisp some thing else
etc
repeat as nessi-scary
