If a couple lives together have different surnames and have a child, what's the most common surname for the child?

We went with my surname. Double-barrelled wasn't really practical.

When we got married, Susan didn't want to change her surname to mine and I was quite happy with that. This turns out to have been an amazingly wise decision, given the number of immigration-related forms for both the UK and US that wanted proof of any previous names - all that paper we saved by not having previous names.
