Meant to post this much earlier. Today I’ve been getting Ponyville citizens to sign a petition to fix a not-so-obvious loophole in the system. In short, orphaned children can only have a last name if the identity of their family is found, and can be proven. Additionally, it is possible for a pony to drop their last name, but no way to adopt a new one short of having to marry another pony. With the law I am proposing, any adult without a last name can create one of their own for the sake of legal documents and processes. Note that they still cannot change their first name, and the process of surname adoption will require some paperwork and proof of identification.

If anyone wishes to help me, please contact me over this blog, or in person at the farmer’s market.

And, of course, I’d be very grateful for any help! For obvious reasons.
