That decision is up to the parents. There is no law that covers this situation if the mother has not taken her husband's name in marriage.

If you are not married to the father of your child but he wants the baby to have his name. Don't you lose some rights to that child?
Not at all. The child's last name does not grant more rights to one parent over the other with a different last name. It's just a name. The child doesn't even have to have either parent's last name.
