Assuming that the couple are not married, the law presumes the unmarried mother has sole legal rights to the child and is not legally required to use the father's surname. This will apply even in matters of child support or the biological father receiving custodial/visitation rights. The exception would be if the biological father received full custody of the child, the court would allow the child to bear the father's surname for reasons that would be in the child's best interest and not that of either parent. The person "reporting" the birth (normally the mother or both parents) can call the child any name they wish.

My cousin's girlfriend is having a baby by someone else but my cousin plans on raising the baby with her like his own but can they give the baby my cousins last name?

If the babies mother wants the baby to have your cousins last name then the baby can. When the baby is registered if the baby's mother takes the baby on her own then only her name can appear on the birth certificate and the baby will take her surname. If your cousin wants his name on then he needs to go to get her registered as well and then the baby can have his surname.
