All I can think of is that he was living with the skywalkers. Perhaps, being out on Tatooine, having the name skywalker wasn't too dangerous. But if the whole family changed their name suddenly, or adopted a son with a different last name and no one knew where he came from, it would be reason to talk and word might get out? Maybe it was just to keep from stirring up the pot since they were already in the outer rim.

That's just a stretch rationalization, but it came to me.
