Heck no, surnames weren't invented until their kids had kids.

In some cultures and ages there is no surname or last name.
As a joke, in spanish we say they were Adan & Eva Perez, taking it from a wordplay on a verse from Genesis. But in english the wordplay does not work.

Names given at that time were the nature of the person or prophetically their call or ability in life
The boy's name Adam \a-dam\ is pronounced AD-um. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "earth". From "adama". In Hebrew, it is a generic term for "man". Biblical: in the Genesis account, he was the first man created from the red earth of Eden.
The girl's name Chava \ch(a)-va\ is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "life".
Chava has 9 variant forms: Ava, Chabah, Chaya, Chayka, Eva, Eve, Hava, Haya and Kaija.

there was no need for a surname... who on their block would've confused them with another adam and eve?

No, just ADAM and EVE. Even if they did I dont think it should matter to us.

No one really had surnames until 1000 years ago.

Why would they need one? For the census? To apply for credit cards? To avoid being confused with someone else?
