Bennett89 wrote: The Hales seem to be a Matriarch family where is a Male is the leader the name remains but when a female (Talia) takes over as the leader she also keeps the name to keep the legacy intact This works for humans but with werewolves a non-Hale can become alpha in the Hale family so the name wouldn't really mean anything in the end. I mean if Scott had joined Peter in Season 1 and eventually overthrew him and became alpha  of the pack the Hale name wouldn't be used so in the end the legacy is lost so keeping the name for that reason doesn't really work.
