State laws vary. Generally, an unmarried mother has all rights of naming her child when the child is born. If she wants to change the child's name later and the father has any parental rights that were established by a court order, he must be notified of the petition for name change and will be given the opportunity to object. The court will decide.

If the father never established his paternity legally the mother can change the child's name. The court will a advise her about whether or not she needs to give the father notice when she files the petition for a name change.
