Also, would there be a reason why you wouldn't want him on there? Besides you not being together?

If you are married then you can put his name down without him with you.
Hope it helps!
Its totally up to you if you want his name on the birth certificate. They can just leave the fathers name blank. He will have to have your surname though.

Personally I have a strong belief that father's should not be excluded from their child's upbringing unless there is a very good reason (e.g. risk of harm to the child or physical or serious emotional abuse of the mother). So unless there is something bad happening what reason is there to leave him off? Do you know what he would like to do? I think you also need to think about how it will seem for you next baby knowing that his sister has her father named whereas new baby doesn't - when they get older they mat feel hurt by this distinction. Similarly with names. How would they feel with different names?
If you could have his name on it that would be better for your child, however if as like in my case you never want to set eyes on him again, then dont do it. but as the others say it will make somethings simplier in the long run
good luck
