babys last name help

[CantWaitToLoveYou]

ok i know we're not supposed to mention last names, but i really need your opinion please! me & my babys father arent together.. he swears hes gonna be there for his son, which i can only hope he will be, but i dont have my hopes up. i'm naming my son Isaiah & he was always going to have babydads last name, Moore. but now i'm considering adding my last name, making him Isaiah Mash-Moore.. even though his father will be mad.. what do you think!? he comes from a long line of football players.. his dad played all through college.. & if he gets into it too i think its a cool football name ;)

Definitely have your last name in there. My 4 yr old son has his dads last name and that was a mistake. It got to the point where he was trying to take him away from me and it all makes a differece on the last name. I would of definitely put my name in threre or even just gave him mine. He was really good with my son foe a while then nothing now he's court ordered to see him.

If the baby's dad wants to be around forever for your son, it won't matter if you get married, because your son will still be involved with his father, so he doesn't necessarily have to match you guys, a lot of families don't match! And if you want to avoid drama in the delivery room (stressful time anyway) I would tell him before, I would just want to enjoy my son, and not argue with his father, you never know this might set him over the edge and he may not want to stick around anymore, and you'd want to know that before adding his name to the certificate!

yay thank you! i think i'm gonna do it :) only thing i thought of is if i get married to someone else one day our names won't match. but either way i'm superrr close with my family & theyll always have the name. should i tell the dad before the birth? or wait & surprise him lol

I love how it sounds too, and who cares what he thinks!! Apparently you two have had your differences, and even if you haven't, it's your child too, and if you're not together, someday you're going to regret not having your son have your name too, I think it's a great idea!
