the baby takes the nationality of its parents ....
in the past, this would 'automatically' be that of the Father ...
Times have changed, and in smany countries this old rule no longer applies -
so if you are a german married to a spaniard, living as residents in Spain ...... the baby would be granted spanish nationality ..... if you made application / notified authorities --------- residents here means where the authorities recognise the parents as being domiciled / ordinarily resident ......... although terminology is different in european countries....
so easy way is to apply for european citizenship !!!!!!!!! (does not exist yet)

Yes, you CAN take the nationality of your father/mother if we are discussing British Nationality and either parent is British.
The question becomes more interesting when neither parent is British.
The answer lies in where the plane or boat or even hovercraft is registered. It could then become a question of whether or not one (legitimate depending on the date of birth) parent is deemed to be "settled" in the UK at the time of the birth.
