8Also, Picard (jokingly?) called Riker "Mr. Troi" after their wedding. Is this evidence of Betazoid matrilinearity?– ThePopMachineCommented Aug 18, 2015 at 1:15

Memory Alpha and Beta seem to indicate that Ian was always called Troi, so presumably Lwaxana took that name. Bear in mind that Betazoid culture is described by MA as 'semi-matriarchal'– Often RightCommented Aug 18, 2015 at 1:49

@N_Soong if you think that's true, then you need to explain why she didn't take any of the names of her other husbands.– ThePopMachineCommented Aug 18, 2015 at 1:52

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
