It explores the determinants of inheriting the mother{\textquoteright}s surname in China and its implications for children{\textquoteright}s health status and education outcomes. It establishes that children whose mothers are younger, more educated, and from regions with a lower sex ratio are more likely to be named after their mother. Moreover, these children have superior health and education outcomes, reflecting predominantly the impact of women{\textquoteright}s higher bargaining power on children{\textquoteright}s human capital accumulation.},
