I'm not sure if this is the policy in every state, but the mother can give her baby her last name or the fathers, whichever she chooses. The father doesn't have to sign the birth certificate. This seems strange, i know. But with my children, my husband wasn't there and i filled everything out myself in the hospital. My sister had a child with her boyfriend at the time, and she decided to give the baby her last name, it was never questioned by anyone. There is no law stating the child has to have the fathers last name.

Why is JKRowling know as JKRowling when her birth certificate shows Joanne Rowling only?

An author can choose the name under which he or she publishes. It does not have to be the person's legal or birth-certificate name. When the book was first published they targeted it at boys so she used an initial and joanne used kathleen after her grandmother because she didnt have a middle name.
