fighting over last name for our girl.

So yesterday we found out I'm having a girl, and I was happy so I posted on Facebook saying I'm a girl. But first me and by daddy to give her his last name even though we are not married, and my family is trying to guilt guilt me into giving her my last name because of tradition And I'm not a big fan of traditions, and me and my baby got in an argument because he doesn't like that my family trys to push me into things I don't want, and I I was cry so I went and talk to my dad cuz he is the only one that isn't pushy. He gives me the right advice, and after that I stop crying and went and told my baby daddy I want him to have both last names and he was fine with it. But my family can never stop and my sister makes it sounds like I have to do this. And she is just a hardhead and didn't let it stop she started to disrespect my baby daddy's mother calling her a crack head.. And bs my baby daddy saw what she said and was pissed and wanted to tell her some ****, but he didn't thank god! Cuz that would have made it all worse.!! Plus thanks to my family smart *** mouth they all ruined my big day!! So for ranting.. Wish my family could be more supportive

See with being married I want to wait a little long cuz a baby is gunna chance out relationship, there is much more at risk for the baby if I get married and it doesn't work out then I have to fight for her to stay.. My family can be very pushy and rude were I have to walk on egg shells just so they don't think I'm like them, I'm very different from my family. I wany my baby to out both last names cuz she gets a little of his family and she gets a little from mine. Cuz I have two last names cuz my mom named me after my father but he was a jerk and left me and never tried to help my mom with me. And my step father adopt me and now I'm legally his and they asked me if I wanted to change my last name and I told them I wanted to keep Garcia cuz I wanted to keep that part of my life, and add clark because I always felt like I belong to my new dad cuz we are more alike then anything! And my baby will get that feeling too

Well I personally believe that your child shouldn't have the last name of a man who hasn't given you his last name. Get married. I'm 31 weeks & I got married in June...before I got married my child would've carried my last name. #foodforthought I'm only 17.

I understand where you're coming from. That's your baby and you name her what you want :)

Do whatever you want. Shoot you could do a hyphenated name if that's what you want. But it's your kid, your choice.

Give her the bd's last name. When she gets married its going to change any way so the Tradition won't matter
