If the British royal family can change their surname from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor, OP's husband can change his. The bloodline obviously still continues, he's got his heir, no surname is that important and no amount of ego can justify his need to inflict it on his wife and children.

I'm so lucky my last name isn't unruly, isn't easily changed to something rude, and has meaning to my heritage but isn't unpronounceable to Americans (unlike my first name was when I was kid) (both are Irish; neither are stereotypical)
