Father?

The most typical process is that some time shortly after delivery, while
the lady and the baby are still in the hospital, a hospital clerk or
nurse comes up to the lady and asks her what the baby's name is for the
birth certificate. That is also the way the paternity is established,
by the nurse/clerk asking the lady - birth mother - for the information
to fill in the blank.

Sometime later, the clerk puts a pile of completed birth certificates in
front of the delivery doctor to be signed - which certificates contain
the information obtained as above from the mother.

So, in that sense the father doesn't really have much to do with it :-)

Men are lucky that women let them seem to have so much say in things :-)

Then I stand corrected. It's been a while since I've had to mess with
any of that.
