Playing with matrinames - each person has a double surname, one matriname, inherited along the maternal line, and one patriname, inherited along the paternal line. In theory, matriname follows mtDNA, patriname follows Y DNA, but produces a "family name" shared by all children of a couple. Half-siblings would share one last name depending on the parent they have in common. Each person retains their personal surname throughout their life.

An interesting concept but one that does not work for all family situations, especially those with non-cishet parents. Though its based in following mitochondrial DNA lines as well as the traditional patrilineal descent, it could be adapted to form a family name of the involved people's choice.
