Naruto Namikaze would probably have grown up to be a loved and happy child.

I've seen some theories online that it's common for Asian cultures to give a child the mothers surname and also that Minato had enemies or something so the elders wanted to protect Naruto by giving him his mothers name. My response to those reasons are, Asuma Sarutobi, and Konohamaru Sarutobi, plus whoever is Konohamaru's dad who would also have the Sarutobi name.
If you watched the episode in which Nagato prevented Kurama from outbursting (Fight with Nagato - Last Pain left), he said that the 3rd Hokage left the secret to himself, because if it would get known that Naruto is the 4th son, a chaos might have occured.
Giving Naruto the 4th surname would be giving chaos on a plate.
