Since you asked for an opinion I will offer one. No, the child should not have the father's name since it is statistically likely she will have most of the responsibility for raising her child. If the father wanted the child to have his name then he should marry the mother and take full financial responsibility for the child. The mother will always be with her child. That may not be so with the father.

∙ 14y agoIt is standard in the United States for children to have their father's last name, unless a child is adopted by a different couple. It does not matter if the parents do not live together. In Spain, A son will generally have his father's last name and a daughter will have her mother's last name.
