You do what ever is right for you, there are no right answers. I agree with one of the other mom's regarding credit, bills, and things of that nature...it can be a bit confusing. My fiancé is a 3rd, what we did was we named our son after him but he has a different middle name, it was a compromise.
Back to the original poster's question, my husband is a "the fourth" and we didn't name our son his name "the fifth." My husband wanted his son to be his own man. If you don't like the name, don't name the baby the name. And as an aside, I feel strongly that unless the guy is willing to marry you, he has no right to expect your baby to have his last name, no matter how much he says he wants to be an involved dad. You are the one who is going to be 24/7, not him.
I certainly wouldn't, but it's whatever you feel happier with.
Hey your almost there! I'm not looking forward to going all summer being pregnant
I was thinking about a junior for my son but my boyfriend told me no. I want my son to have his dad first name (Austin) as my son's middle name so it would be (Chase Austin) but he told me he would bite his tongue for that one. So we agree on (Chase Thomas) but I love the middle name Austin like his dad. We can't pick a middle name for nothing. Lol
Putting the cheating and all that to the side. If you know he'll be there for his child then I say give him his child last name but if not give your child your last name. Some people are just better parent separated. My boyfriend and I are expecting our 1st child this October and been together for 8 months! Some people told me I should give my son both of our last names because we aren't married and when the child grows up he can pick the last name he was wants.
If you don't like his name DO NOT name your kid that. You will probably call him a different name anyways. If it makes you feel better keep the middle but change the first. You can fill out the birth certificate before you go in and that way you just hand it over once he is born. But please don't name you child something you don't like. You will be more upset about it if you don't change it.
That's what im a do. Thank u
Do you like his name? And honestly I say no. My husband is the 3rd and all the bills and everything get messed up all the time. It's annoying. We have to double check company's when we try to pay bills.
I didn't with my son I changed his name 3 days before he was born and gave him my last name
