A child cannot be named until she/he is born. Then, if the parents of that child are unmarried the mother can name the child. When one of the parents of a child is married to a third party that complicates the situation in every way. If you have questions regarding the situation then you should seek the advice of an attorney.

No.
The parents of a child are unmarried and the father's name is not on the birth certificate. The mother gave the child her last name. Does she have to change it to her father's last name?
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.

Which last name should an unwed mother give her newborn child?
An unwed mother has complete control over what to name the child. She should give the child her own last name since it is likely she will have complete responsibility for the child. If the parents are not married now it is unlikely they will ever be. The father can list his name on the birth certificate. If he wants the child to have his last name then he should marry the mother and take full responsibility as the father.An unwed mother has complete control over what to name the child.

Who's last name does a child take from unwed parents?
Whatever last name the mother chooses. Foe example, my parents are not married and my mom chose to give me my father's last name, (since SHE was the one who just gave birth the mom gets the ultimate decision). However, I have a cousin that gave her child her last name instead. If the father wants to give the child his last name, he can petition it to the court, and the judge will decide. I know this is a fact in Missouri!
