I.e. his name would be José de Jesús > García -here you put his mother's first family name-. Won't that produce an exponential family name length growth with a branching factor = 2. Do any beta cutoffs or forward pruning occur? Or if there are 1 million initial last names, after twenty or so generation everyone in the country has the same 1 million last name components, just permuted differently. (Or maybe everyone will be just de Adam dela Eve?)
