Sir, legally, two sons can have the same name, but it may lead to confusion in documentation and identification, especially in matters like inheritance, property, and legal formalities. Regarding surnames, it is not a fundamental right, but parents typically have the right to choose a child's surname, subject to societal norms and legal regulations.
