Naming my daughter

[dastar99]

Deciding on a name for my daughter has been the most difficult task I've had to do. However I finally you came up with the names for her first and middle name. but deciding on her last name is being very difficult for me.

my family wants me to give her my last name because me and her father are not married and they also really dont care for him to much.

the father wants me to give her his last name but sometimes with him I'm not sure if he's  even going to be around for her since we broke up.

I had my dads last name as a child and i think it was the best choice ever. esp since i moved in with him when i was 15.
If me and my husband werent married i would still give my daughter his last name. but both of my sisters gave their son their last name. but if i was in there situation i would have done the same. if i wasnt married i know my husband would still be here for the child.

I agree, however in this case the father wasn't at the hospital and didn't meet his son until almost 3 weeks old, and didn't attempt again until 3 months old.....I feel I made the right decision because even at 5 the father isn't around

I personally think that a baby boy should have the fathers last name, and I don't think it really matters what the girls last name is because she most likely will find someone she loves and marry him, taking his last name.

My son has my last name, best decision ever since his dad is very rarely around, my daughter will also have my last name.

I personally did give my daughter her father's last name.I knew no matter what our situation was, that he'd be a good father. If u don't feel that way: the choice should be simple.  A lot of women don't want the baby to have a different last name than them, if u think that will bother you, use your name! :)

my baby will have my last name even though the father and i are together thats something i told him from day one. He whined about it at first but he's still legally married to his first baby's mom and even though he gave me a engagement ring i dont wear it on my finger i wear it around my neck. I want my child to have my last name, it's in my body and like i told him when it comes down to it I'm the one that fills out the paperwork for his birth certificate. I told him that if he ever does get a divorce and I do marry him that we can change his last name when mine changes. But if it doesnt work out between me and the baby daddy I don't want him to have his last name.

You could do both. My little sister has my mums last name and her dads last name. Cause they split not long before she was born. We thought he wouldn't be around either but he surprised everyone and is an excellent dad. It's hyphenated so Rowland-Wood. :)
