Identified errors:

This is not correct for Romania: officially it’s Surname + Given-name, live in Hungary.

Not true for Greece, it’s just First-name + Surname. It just happens that some Surnames are derived from the father’s name (think “Anderson”).

One of the best proposals I’ve heard is that you would take your father’s father’s name, and your mother’s mother’s name.
