My BF and my last names are long.. For Mexican's we tend to always have both last names on birth certificate. . I already have children from previous relationship they have both but the first last name was 6 letters long... and I had my last name added too..but now I'm double thinking about the future of my child how she will have to deal with the problem.. still I think some women decide to change the last name once married. . But still don't know what to do. ..

I have two kids with separate fathers one is a Padron-Casarez the one on the way will be a Padron-Carter I argued with my first bd about how important it was for my daughter to have both last names and I argued with my boyfriend now about how important it was. The grandmas always wanted to tell me how hard it's going to be for the child... But it's my children and it's not even to be discussed, it's not a big deal in my eyes I feel like it's your choice if you want to stick to your roots or not. Two last names isn't a big deal though, chances are in school they will only use one of them! To make it easier do two last names and no middle name.. I know both my children will have very long names (middle name included) but they will get over it!

I think its special when a child has mom's & dad's last name. And its also traditional with Mexicans. I wouldnt call having two last names a problem. Its actually very symbolic & meaningful. My siblings & I have our mom's & then dad's last name. We are all very proud of that.

In California they only put one.. I have a 4 1/2 year old born there and when I was going to sing the papers I noticed that and got my last name added..she has a first and middle Name also... I wanted to give this child first and middle name too..

My husband and I were just talking about this a few nights ago we decided to just put his last name instead of putting two (his last name and my last name) since I  I dont use my father's last name due to the fact es never been in my life I'd always just go by my moms last name but still just decided to put only his last name

My children were fortunate to only get one of my husband's last names. Our last name is Marin-Soto. Marin for his father's side and Soto for his mother's side. Our children only have the last name Marin. I just explained to the lady who worked in the birth certificate office in the hospital that we preferred them to only carry one last name. She got it pre approved for all 6 of our children.

We are chicanos and both of us only have our father's last name. Our children will only have DF's last name, I think it's more of an old tradition because everyone I know only has 1 lady name.

Im a quarter of Mexican and im also British.  So my oldest has my British last name and his father's Puerto Rican last name. Im in a new relationship and the father is originally from Puerto Rico and we plan on marrying after this baby
So this baby will just have my fiance's last name

It's tradition to do the father's last name then the mothers right? It wouldn't look that long if you give no middle name like abigail de los santos contreras.
