This is a good point but ultimately the important thing is what surname the children get since that is what passed down.
Also this is a random ass guess and backed up by absolutely no data, but I'd bet a sizable amount of money that couples that follow the traditional system of giving everyone the man's name have significantly more children on average than couples who don't, so while your situation may be a factor it is probably currently nothing more than statistically noise.
FWIW, I think you made the right choice. Expecting women to lose the familial history via naming should seem pretty ridiculous in this day and age but it is one of those things that flies under the radar even for a lot of people who are otherwise pretty enlightened about gender issues.
