I can't remember if it's mentioned. In 'Papa's got a brand new excuse' it's revealed his name is Lou Smith and in 'Guess who's coming to marry' Aunt Viv says Here we are. The Smith sisters, loud, live and in color'. So the names alone are no indication.
Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!
I think the last name thing was an inconsistency, lots of sitcoms have them especially when it's an episode from the first season and a much later season episode. Kinda like how on Friends how they kept screwing up their ages throughout the series.

Wait now there are dramatic inconsistencies and then blatant ones. The series was far enough along at that point to make such a mistake.

It is an inconsistency, but Smith is the most common last name in the United States, they very much could have both been Smiths, therefore, a last name wouldn't need to change after marriage.
sharesmith is the most common anglo name in the world. so most unlikely
Yes but we're not talking about reality! We're talking about characters that have been created. I just find it unusual that the writers would have given them the same name!
We have to show the world that not all of us are like him: Henning von Tresckow.
there is nothing unrealistic about the setup in the programme. it is by no means a stretch of the imagination. it's not like the programme is about dwarves and elves which is far more unrealistic
