I've never seen it in practise, but _Seder Kidushin Venisu'in_, by R
Mordechai Farkash, says "When the father is a goy and the mother a Jew
write the mother's name, and some say to write just the person's own
name (32); and some write the name of the mother, the daughter of her
Jewish father (e.g. Yosef ben Rachel bas Yaacov). (33)"

Footnote 32 says: "See Otzar Haposkim 66:129 and 66:151, and see what
I wrote in Kovetz He'oros Uviurim #864."


On omitting the fathers' names in a get, see

(This reference was posted to Avodah by R Yitzhak Grossman a few years
ago; it's a fascinating sefer)
