How are people named in the Naruto world? Sometimes the father passes it down (Choji -> Chocho Akimichi) but then we get a curveball and the mother passes it down (Minato Namikaze -> Naruto Uzumaki). Is it like you said and based on rank, and the kid keep the name of greater rank, do the parents decide, or something else?

I'm really not sure but I would like it cleared up
