doesn't the father name her? if the father is not shomer shabbos... well, I guess it's a question of whether a non- shomer shabbos can get an aliya.

I would think it counts based on that a non frum person counts for a minyan, I really think that would apply here, but I'm no rabbi.

by us, the baby is named at the first opportunity. sometimes the dad is in the hospitalwiththe mother so the zeyde does it.

don't worry about it - once a name is read by the torah it is 100% valid.
