I'd never do anything like that, nor condone it.

What I would be interested to know is the history behind their last names.  Nationality...changing it because you're a fan, etc.

My last name is Iatrides. I am Arcadian, my town is about 45 minutes far with car from Mycynae. I am not sure if the name has any relation/roots with Atreus generation - iatrides in Greek also means son of the healer.

Definitely no connection, I'm afraid. As you say, Iatrides is simply the patronymic from ιατρος.
