There wasn't any tradition of naming genealogies through the mother's line by using the father's name. It's only an ad hoc hypothesis by the apologist in order solve the contradiction.
Please provide actual evidence for this supposed tradition (rather than just assertions made on wacky sites).
So you want 'proof' that I can put on a "wacky web site," but I am not allowed to use a "wacky website" for proof? does this accuratly define your challenge?
The site offered no proof. It was simply asserted. As far as I can tell, it's just an ad hoc (made up) hypothesis thought of merely to solve a contradiction.
