Babys Last Name..

[february2015]

So based off of the fact that my boyfriend and I aren't married our child was going to have my last name. My boyfriend is arguing with me about it because he wants baby to have his last name but I want to have the same last name as my child and him and I aren't so sure about marriage. He says that he's going to marry me but who knows if that'll be in a few months a few years or even never. Anyone else have similar problems? I honestly don't know how we are going to solve this, with almost every family I know if a child is born before their parents are married they have the mother's maiden name.

My partner and I have been together almost 5 years by the time baby gets here. We are engaged, and have lived together for 2 years. Our daughter will definitely have daddy's last name, there was never any question of it.

We are having joint last names, because it was a huge argument about whos he was having.

When I had my son I said he was not having his last name ( we are married now ) so we had a double double barreld last name so it was his surname then - then my maiden name now we have just dropped mine off the end and we all have the same

My Boyfriend and I are never going to get married but my baby's have hes last name because after all he is the father

My baby will have my boyfriend's last name. Even though we won't be married for years. Ultimately the decision is upto you but if he's been supporting you through this pregnancy and has said he will support you and bubs then you should give the baby his last name

I gave our daughter my bf last name bc he is apart of her life and we are together. We got married 18mths later after she born. We been married two yrs now and on baby two. Honesty it's up to you.  If you two are planning a future together,  daddy last name should be consider

Well everyone I know that's not married and have children take both last names on the birth cert my nephew has it and also meany of my friends my child will have my name and then it's father that way then you can use either one

My baby has my boyfriends last name because we are definitely getting married and it's just easier in the long run to not have to go through with changing our sons last name.
It's different in our country that the baby takes the fathers last name unless the parents aren't together then the baby takes the mums last name.

I barely knew my sons father when we got pregnant so I didn't want to give my son his last name but I did anyways. I did it because I knew that he was going to stick in my sons life for sure. We are now engaged and having our second child and baby #2 will of course have his last name.
