Lucrecia was referred to as Dr. Crescent before any relationship with Hojo. Ergo, that's her last name. However, she could still easily be married to Hojo, and keep her last name of Crescent. It's actually a common thing to do, when both members of a couple are in professional fields.
See, once you have written a paper or thesis that's been submitted to your field, you have to keep your last name. If you
don't keep the last name your thesis or paper is written under, you lose the credit for that paper, basically.
Otherwise, if Lucrecia did marry Hojo, then changed her name, she would have lost all credit in her field for her papers written under her previous name of "Crescent." So, it makes sense that if she did marry Hojo, she'd keep her own last name. *shrug*
