Who should the child be named after?

Generally speaking, a woman will live with her husband's family after marriage, so she will get along more and get closer with her relatives after giving birth. Even if the child takes the mother's surname, this situation will not change much. And those children who live with the woman's family for a long time, even if they take the father's surname, will be closer to the relatives on the woman's side. This is a very normal thing. As a parent, you don't have to care so much. There is no need to worry about your child's surname.

In my opinion, since the child's surname has nothing to do with this, and the tradition in China has always been that the child's surname is the father, it is better to follow the tradition, which will be natural, with less gossip and more trouble. Few children around us take their mother's surname, but most of them still take their father's surname. This is a matter of habit, because everyone has been doing this for a long time, and they are used to it and don't want to change it. It's actually quite good. Everyone follows this habit. It's better to do one more thing to make life easier.
