People are insisting accuracy (although I don't see what's inaccurate about labelling Betty and Len "Parents" rather than "Mother and Father") but there doesn't seem to be a lot of insistency on gathering all of the relevant and accurate information on them anyway. The mother can literally take any boyfriend and claim he is the father.

Unmarried couples both have to be present when you register the birth. If you are unmarried and just mother goes, to register they cannot include the fathers name. Married couples, either parent can register the birth and include both names.
