I'm in the same boat. My grandfather on my father's side isn't his biological father. Before she died, my grandmother told my father his biological father's name, but he hasn't shared it with the rest of the family, so, I carry a last name to a man I wasn't technically related to.
On my mother's side, however, the names Grant and Joseph go back several generations in various forms to fishing village in what was Prussia around 1588. Only one child of my grandfather's (he had 5 kids) has had children and she (my mother) compromised with my father over mine and my sister's name.
The name Elizabeth has been around a few generations on my father's side, but that's following the maternal line of that side of the family since my father was illegitimate.
Gosh, that was confusing, huh?
