52. In case of disagreement over the choice of a surname, the registrar of civil status assigns to the child a surname consisting of two parts, one part being taken from the surname of his father or of one of the parents and the other from that of his mother or of the other parent, according to their respective choice.
If the disagreement is over the choice of a given name or names, the registrar assigns to the child, as the case may be, two or four given names chosen respectively by the father and mother or by the parents. If the disagreement is over the choice of the usual given name, the registrar assigns to the child such a given name from among the given names received.
