Unfortunately, thats not at all odd anymore. I regularly make sure I get both the childs and mothers full name when I transport children...they're different more times then they're the same.

So, which name does the child get? The mother's last name or the father's last name? Does the child get the mother's last name if she's not married to the father? What is it?

That depends on the mother, since she's the one who fills out the birth certificate. Some mothers want their baby to have the father's last name, some don't.
