Assuming she is the legal guardian she decides all names.
If I'm understanding you correctly ... none at all.
New Mexico law does not have a specific statute that addresses the rights of single mothers. As with other states, the rights of parents are secondary to the rights of a child. In all cases, if a court is to decide the living arrangements of a child and contact with parents, it will be based on the welfare of the child. The marital status of the parents is of little importance compared to the ability of parents to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the child.
In Missouri an unwed mother has all the rights to the child until paternity is established. However, she also has all the responsibility. That means that she cannot ask for child support either, until paternity is established. She can deny visitation, but she can't get support. Once the father establishes paternity he can asks for the same rights and responsibilities as a married parent. If mom won't help dad establish paternity, he can go to the child support agency and ask them to help him establish paternity.

It depends on what state you're in...
Unwed Mother was created in 1977.
You have just as many rights to the child as the mother does even if you are unwed. It is in your best interest to go through the court system and set up a custody agreement.
AnswerNo. Only a court can grant custody rights or guardianship rights. The inmate cannot assign his parental rights to his own mother.
Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney. The unwed mother should exercise her parental rights aggressively and not allow grandparents or the father to take control of her "rights".
The ISBN of Unwed Mother is 0-448-13533-7.
Sole Custody until ruled on otherwise by the court.
A child from an unwed mother is called an illegitimate child. Also called a bastard.
You have full custody and legal guardianship. The father have to go to court to get his parental rights and petition for custody, visitation and pay child support.
The mother until the father has gone to court to get his parental rights.
if her child's father doesn't have any custady rights, no she doesn't
Regardless of living arrangements, unwed mothers have sole custody and control in all states. The father has no assumed rights.
