The father would need to prove paternity if the parents were not married. He would also need to provide evidence the change in name is in the best interest of the child. If the child lives with the mother who has custody it is unlikely the court will allow the name change. If the father didn't marry the child's mother there is no reason for the court to allow the child's name to be changed.

∙ 18y agoYes, the biological father may sign the record of birth whether he is married to the mother or not. The signing of the document indicates that the male is accepting parental obligations in raising the child including financial support. It is always advisable to have custodial, visitation, support, and other such issues concerning implemented legally rather than non-binding agreements between the parents.

Frankly, the name given to a child can be anything and have nothing to do with any surnames, etc. If she wants to name it Baby Boy Blue, she can. If you are set on this, get with the girl and see if some sort of compromise can be made, maybe you can incorporate both last names somehow, with yours last. Be open and supportive and realize your job as a biological father is more then providing sperm and a name.

∙ 11y agoYour child will get the name you give him if you are the mother. It the parents are not legally married then the mother has the right to choose the child's name. The father must establish his paternal rights in court after the child is born. Then he can petition for joint custody, visitations and a child support order can be established.
