You are in the same legal position as the Earl of Erroll, who took his mother's family name at birth (Hay) to be able to inherit both the Chiefship of Clan Hay and the Earldom of Erroll, while his younger brother took his father's name (Moncrieff) and inherited the Chiefship of Clan Moncrieff.

Does that answer your question, Mr. MacLeod?
It answers enough for sure. Thank you.
