There has unquestionably been a widespread custom in this country to give a child the surname of its father. Nor do we consider the possible claim of a "mature minor," since no such claim is included in the record before us. We put to one side cases of disputes between parents. Judicial decisions on the matter are sparse. There is no statutory provision as to the parents' choice of a child's surname. Neither the common law nor our statutes give them any greater right to review surnames.
