thoughts on cinder changing her legal name to Cinder Blackburn/Linh Selene/Some other combination?
I don't think she would. She doesn't dislike her name being Selene, she just prefers being known as Cinder. Plus the entire world has branded her as Princess/Queen Selene, so she would never truly shake it off even if she tried.
Another reason is outlined by Torin: "To the world, Linh Cinder is a dangerous felon who kidnapped a world leader and instigated a war, while Princess Selene could be the solution to all our problems with Luna." For the first few years where her reputation is still murky, it's in her best interest to lean into the Selene identity.
I think there's three possibilities: 1) she leaves her birth name as is, 2) she adds Linh, or 3) she adds Kai's last name.
(1) It would be simpler to go by Empress Selene but be called Cinder by friends. And she may enjoy this separation of identity; as Selene, she has the fate of the world in her hands to protect, but when she goes home at the end of the day, she's just Cinder, and can give herself a break from that responsibility.
(2) She does go by 'Ambassador Linh-Blackburn' so perhaps she would legalise it as a part of her name. However, Adri makes it pretty clear that she does not acknowledge Cinder as her family and with Cinder never associating with them after Peony's death, the usage of it would wane, eclipsed by 'Empress Selene' brand. So I'm not sure about this one.
(3) I do like that idea that Cinder adopts Kai's last name into her own. Let's say that it's Huang just for argument's sake (because Marissa cruelly denied us this knowledge). So then it could be Selene Channary Jannali Huang-Blackburn. I wouldn't say dogmatically that she would do this, but I don't think she'd be opposed to it. Maybe people even start calling her Huang Cinder in more casual settings--in some Asian cultures women take their husband's last names and in some they don't, so it's fair game.
Obviously if Cinder were to do this it wouldn't be born from the pressure of our current gender roles and patriarchal marital systems. They are apparently obsolete in this future, and women like Linh Adri and Solstice Hayle share a last name with their husbands without any implication that it was enforced upon them as a 'branding of ownership'. Cinder loves Kai; he's her family, and their children would likely have that hyphenation as well, so I think she could be interested in it. But I can also see her just leaving it as Selene Channary Jannali Blackburn--moon moon moon river

The Princess and the Guard
Chapter 1: Ran
TLC second gen fic. Wolflet x kaider kid. WC: 843
Ran Benoit-Kesley was a “good boy”. That’s what his parents believed, and that’s what the media believed. 
The media that couldn’t get off his ass.
Everything that Ran did ended up on those gossip tabloids that his sister loved so much.
Son of Earth’s heroes, Ran Kesley, gets an A+ on his math test. Is the next generation in good hands?
His mom tried to keep the paparazzi away, but that only led to more talk, more gossip. 
“Scarlet Benoit, one of nine saviours of earth, tries to shoot reporters for the second time this month. Empress Selene Channary Jannali Blackburn makes no comment.”
It wasn’t just him.
He couldn’t go a day without seeing the other “legacies” in the news.
“Son of Earth’s heroes, Evret Blackburn Clay, seen eating apple candy”. 
Apple candy sales tripled after the one. His personal favourite was;
“Daughter of Earth’s heroes, Crescent Moon, seen tripping on her way to school”. 
Crescent refused to show her face in public for a month after that and Ran couldn’t stop making fun of her. That of course spurred n another article from the press.
He hated it so much. He only wanted to live a quiet life on the farm with his parents and sister without worrying about his reputation or the cameras. His mom always tells him that he doesn’t have to “perform” for the media, but she doesn’t get it. He was still “performing” for the people of Rieux, his teachers, his friends— everyone who expected him to be one thing or another because of his family. 
Nothing. Nothing was good enough for them. 
Ran was a public piece of meat, and no matter how many reports his mom shot away, she couldn’t protect him from the inevitable.
To the media, Ran was a “good boy”, so he made a game of getting away with stuff without getting caught.
He started with small, petty things.
Ran started pickpocketing his classmates’ pencils.
Stupid, he was aware, but fun.
He went on to steal bigger things— lunches, port screens, test answers— he always “found” and returned them after. Except for the test answers. He would’ve failed without them.
Once he got bored of that, he moved on to vandalism. His trademark was wolf claws, like his dad.
On one hand, he felt ashamed because he knew it was wrong, but on the other hand, he enjoyed being something more than ‘Ran Kesley, boy legacy’.
He enjoyed it and basked in it for as long as he could. But when he got caught trying to steal money from a cash register, his parents found out and his world came crashing down around him. 
“Ran Kesley-Benoit, you have some explaining to do.” he cringed, bracing himself for the lecture that would follow. He wasn’t afraid of much, but Ran was scared of his mother. 
Ran sat hunched on the chair, his handcuffed to the metal leg. He snuck out after hours to steal silverware from Rieux Tavern, but Gilles caught him, and Ran masterfully talked his way out of it.
Not really. He screamed like a girl, tripped over a table, and fell through the front window. He was okay, of course, save for a few cuts on his face and a splitting headache, but the window was not and the cops were immediately called.
He looked between his parents’ faces. His mom was angry, her anger accentuated by her ever-fiery red hair. His dad was mostly disappointed. He’d never seen his dad angry and today was no exception. 
“Where’s Michelle?” he said finally.
Scarlet huffed. “Asleep. Like you should be.”
Ran was going to argue that it was 11 pm and well, he was seventeen, and well, Michelle went to bed abnormally early for a thirteen-year-old, but he knew better than to dig himself a bigger hole. 
“Listen, I’m sorry, okay?” he said instead. 
“Were you even thinking? Stealing, Ran, seriously?” Scarlet shook her head. “I should leave you here overnight. Then you’ll be sorry,”
His father’s alarmed expression mirrored his own. 
“Scar-”
“I’ll be back.”
Wolf stood awkwardly in front of him. He was never the strict type, contrary to his appearance. His father was the one to hold back his mom while she went off on him. 
“Am I in trouble?” Ran asked. He knew the answer. Not even his father could excuse his actions this time. 
“Of course you are,” Wolf said— almost sternly— with a raised eyebrow.
Ran looked a lot like his father. He had the same tousled, brown hair paired with dark skin and bright green eyes. They would’ve been identical if it wasn’t for his bioengineering.
Scarlet came back with her hands on her hips and the police officer followed after her. He hesitantly kneeled to release Ran from his handcuffs. Ran massaged his wrist and looked up in surprise at Scarlet. 
“Let’s go home. We’ll talk in the morning.”
