Nothing happen's but the child will live with the tag of "father unknown" for the rest of their life. Paternity is presumed if the parents were married at the time of the child's birth. If the parents were not married, paternity can also be established by signing an acknowledgment of paternity or/and by genetic testing (DNA).

Unless you are married the mother is the one who gets to name her child. The father cannot avoid responsibility for his child by not signing the birth certificate. He can be compelled by a court order to submit to a DNA test to determine paternity. Once paternity is established the court will enter a child support order and a visitation order if the father requests one.

You have larger problems than that with the relationship. Find another name that both of you can live with. Often what seems like a perfect name to one person has connotations or memories associated with it to the other. There are many good names out there, so stop stonewalling and find that alternative!
