Except that's not how they set this up, despite them being matriarchal. Allison's mom, who had to have come from another hunter family unless they're inbreeding, took on Chris' family name, remember? Kate and Gerard are Chris' family, and they're all Argents. That implies that they're still traditional about name taking.

As far as what Derek asked, and Talia told, I've got nothing. Not enough info to even speculate IMO. I do wish they would've expanded on the Derek and Peter scene more.

I'm certainly getting more and more curious about the Hale family. If Peter and Talia are the Hales, who was Derek's dad? Why did he take Talia's name, and why didn't they hyphenate the kids'? Not that I like hyphenating, I think it's stupid, but it's definitely a thing nowadays.
