One of the parent's names. Or two as done in some countries. One is more common afaik.

There is a trend towards using most rare last name as opposed to the more traditional name of parent of one particular gender

Belgium law is quite restrictive. Up until recently you were required to use the father's surname if known. You're now allowed to use either or both unless one parent is unknown, in which case you have to use the other.

Confirming. I think I know at least two friends who have chosen the least common last name even if it was hers. And I belong to what would often be described as a very conservative group ;-)
