No. I doubt you are the only one in the world with that last name. You don't own your last names unless you patented it. A unmarried father have rights to his child if he proved paternity in court. Not otherwise.

He has the right to sign the birth certificate. Apart from that he has no right at the birth. The mother is the patient and she decides what goes.

Here in the Philippines, a mother can not just name any person as the father of her child in the Birth Certificate. They will look for a marriage contract as their reference when you named your child under his/her father's surname. Or if not married, they let the father fill up the Affidavit of Acknowledgement/Admission of Paternity at the back of the Birth Certificate.

Does the mother never married have to allow the father to sign the birth certificate if he wants it to add to his deers to get more money for him?
Well first of all the father doesn't sign a birth certificate he signs an acknowledgement of paternity with the unmarried mother and two witnesses to declare that he is the father. This legal document will allow the birth registrar to put his name on the birth certificate as the father. As long as the mother signs the acknowledgement then it will be legallly binding just as if they had went to court. If she chooses not to sign then the document will not be complete and on the child's birth certificate the father's name will remain blank. (Please remember it is very important to acknowledge paternity for the child's sake. It is very disappointing when a child looks at their birth certificate and does not see a father's name. Also the child will have the rights to certain medical information/hystory from their father in the event that child has a medical condition as well as the right to child support.)
