Does anyone know if, in Georgia you can still give your baby the father's last name if he is incarcerated?

Question

My fiance is in prison in North Georgia and I live and will be giving birth to our daughter in south georgia. We already knew that he would have to wait until he was released to sign the birth certificate but we still want the baby to have his last name. Does anyone know anything about this? if you do please let me know ASAP I'm due very shortly.

I am having this same issue.  Our baby is due in April and he just got locked up.  It means alot to him for the baby to have his name, and I want that too.  Now, that I'm pretty sure I can give her his name, how do I go about making sure before she's born????  Are there papers he can go ahead and sign and I can have at the hospital, or will it all have to wait until she's born???  I really would like to have it taken care of before!!!!!
