It's not a bad thing to allow your children bear your first name as their surname.
You really don't need to change your own surname and that of your wife but your children. You and your wife continue to bear your suremame while the children bear your first name as their surname.
Just do a new birth certificate for your children if they are still young and that's all.
I just did for my son and I have done his NIN with the new surname too. My wife and the kid now bear my surname hyphen my first name which makes it a compound name and my own surname remains the way it was.
