I understand gender specific firstnames, but not surnames. What surname do the children take on then? How does a surname get passed from generation to generation?

>>I'm confused. I have never seen this before (that I can recall). Are names in Czech Republic always gender specific? Here in the U.S. that is not the case, so I find it interesting. What last name do the children get then? If a male's surname is masculine, and the women's lastname is feminine, what about their male and female children? How do surnames get passed on from generation to generation? Or did I totally misunderstand? (It wouldn't be the first time :o)

>PMFJI, in most slavic countries last/first names are gender specific unless they are foreign.
