Naruto being a Namikaze would attract enemies, since the village was in the state of anarchy. He named him Uzumaki possibly because, Uzumaki was a foreign clan. This concealed the possibility of Naruto being the Fourth's heir..
Considering this, why is Naruto Uzumaki not namikaze?
The changing of the name was done by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen. So for Naruto's own protection, they change his name from Namikaze to Uzumaki, because no one except for Jiraiya, Hiruzen, his wife Biwako, and Tsunade knew about the marriage of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.
Also Know, why is Naruto named menma in Tenten's dream? In the Road to Ninja movie, Naruto had the name Menma. Naruto hates menma (food topping) and in the alternate universe he is named Menma. In Tenten's dream it's like that alternate world from Road to Ninja, so Menma is practically the opposite of who Naruto is in the actual world.
Keeping this in consideration, why did Naruto inherit from being an Uzumaki?
The three main reasons for Hiruzen giving Naruto his mother's surname Uzumaki were to protect the village, Naruto, and the kyuubi. Like the other posts stated, giving him the name Namikaze will make him a target for his father's enemies. But there is more to Uzumaki name than just that.
Why is Naruto so weak in Boruto?
Most of this answers about Naruto being weakened because of his Hokage job are just wrong. Hokage Naruto is stronger than Naruto at the end of the fourth Shinobi world War. Hokage Naruto has trained a lot with Kakashi and he is better than he ever was. Most of what Hokage Naruto has been doing is exercising restraint.
