I do not know the source. However, I believe that Chabad calls up 
according to the mother's name, not the father's, but I could be 
mistake on this.

IIRC, many years ago when I davened in the Chevron Yeshiva in 
Yerushalyim, they called me up, "Ya'amod Yitzchok Leib Ha Levi" 
without my father's name.  However, this was in the 80s, so I could 
be mistaken.
