Up for the parents to decide. They can have one parents name, both, or even go for the traditional nordic naming convention if they choose.

Is that not the case in every reasonable country? I'm sure he was asking what that "traditional nordic naming convention" is

Jap
we usually succeed the family names of the father's family.
Sometimes the mother's ones are adopted, when the new husbands get adopted by the mother's family to succeed to their family(it is called Mukoyoushi or husband as a son-in-low.)
These days adoptation of separate surnames is discussed.

South Korea
Fucking small but fucking strong

nice trips.

But in that case, traditional nordic is what they have in Iceland. Taking the dads first name and adding -sson for sons and -sdotter for daughters.

children should only have the father's surname

South Korea is not that strong though

USA
Father's name
I'm ok with it, although personally I like the idea of mother's surname=middle name and father's surname=last name

no, in most countries surnames are made in an standard logical way
in fact in Spain a lot of people were assigned new surnames in the 1400's or 1500's because they had none or they were illiterate. So a lot of names turned into surnames
Sancho > Sánchez
Fernando > Fernández / Hernández
Rodrigo > Rodriguez
Martin > Martínez
pic related is pretty much how naming convention works in Spain. Revert the father surname for the mother and its Portugal.

Only emperor has no family name in Japan, others has it.
Because everybody knows the emperor family.
