Figured that was just about showing a class divide. Rich people's names mattered, there was no point in calling him Sokka Fisher. But most anyone would want to know her family, so they needed a family name. Then when a name becomes prominent enough that people think it is more important than your individuality they put it in front of your name. Avatar Roku, Admiral Zhao. I suppose it is just a role more than a name, but in practice Lt. is all they care about... The name following it is just the tool stuck performing the job.
