Random Name Thought

So “The Force Awakens” has a lot of stuff going on with names. Finn doesn’t have one at all until he meets Poe, Rey has just one and doesn’t know anything about her family. Kylo Ren replaced his while trying to convince himself he can be as badass as Vader. (Good luck with that.) Poe Dameron is the only person in the younger generation with two names – even Hux and Phasma have just the one we know – and he’s also the only one who knows who he is, what he’s doing, and in general has his shit together. 

Meanwhile, Leia is still explicitly Leia Organa, no ‘Solo’ hanging off it. A lot of people assume that Ben’s original name is Solo, and yet there’s no actual evidence for that. When we meet Han, Rey asks if he’s really Han Solo, and his response is “Well, I was.”  Sooooooo…. I think what I’m trying to get here is that, if anyone took the other’s name in that marriage, it was Han. People just keep calling him Solo because that’s what he’s famous by.
