Oh, over here the mother's surname either gets shifted to a middle name (creating 5 name scenarios :marseyxd:) or lost like for Anglos. We stuck with first name-first name-mother's surname-my surname for legal/documentation purposes since I have a brother-in-law to pass on the paternal line for her family. Though he's shacked up with a woman in her 40s presently :marseyconfused2: so I'm not certain if we can bank on that occurring. I've never really had a MILF thing, it's a bit puzzling since he's handsome and the population here is very young in general. Premarital relations aside, to each their own.

The second surname should simply be your mother's maiden surname, it's not complicated. I know some LATAM countries like Chile do that as well, requesting foreigners to have 2 surnames. In Brazil you don't need to do that, my mother only had one surname until she married my father and added his surname at the end of hers.

I think you severely underestimate the stupidity of both myself and the general population, @nuclearshill. :marseyhmmhips: In America losing the paternal surname in favor of the husband's is the standard, so we just went with that. :marseyshrug: At the time I didn't really think about it.

Most Brazilian married foids go by their husband's surnames, they just don't lose their maiden names. Not adding their husband surname is a new phenomenon here.
