I think she can name the kid any damn thing she wants. The easy solution would be to hyphenate both last names and use that but if he wasn't around for the pregnancy then she doesn't owe him anything. It doesn't have to mean she is being vindictive.
(And yeah, child support amounts are usually a joke. My sister is getting child support on my niece for what her ex hubby made when my niece was born, not on the much larger sum he makes now. She could get more but doesn't want to have to give up more time with my niece in the summers. He ain't complainin')
