    I am a little unsure of what you are trying to ask, but if you are asking if he can change the child's name with out your consent, the answer is no.
    The only LEGAL way to change the child's name would be before the courts, or if the two of you agreed and submitted the necessary petition to the courts. He can't change it without you knowing about it.
