Yours. So yous are a family. And if you have another kid you can give it yours to so you wouldn't have two kids with different lastnamez
I giving my child the dad last name even if we wasnt together still would be the dad last name me n my brother and sister have got our dad last name but up to you how you feel
GIVE YOUR CHILD YOUR LAST NAME! !
what if you gave bby your boyfriend name then in years you meet a new guy... how your kids gonna feel bout having different names etc
Unless it's something that you practice in your family, (of everyone having the last name of the mom) I don't think you should give the baby your last name. He is always going to be the dad so whether you make the last name of the baby different or not won't change the fact that he is the biological father.
Just becuz hes still gonna be the daddy doesnt mean he has to get his name. And it has nothing to do with being on the birth certificate. Put him on the cert but give baby ur name.
It still gonna be the daddy no matter . I mean you could do yours then "-" his that's what I'd do if I wasn't woth the father.
Maybe both ? He is the father . . . Both my sons have my bfs last name cause I chose to have it that way . I mean even if we wasn't together , I'd still give them his last name . Or proble both .
If you have any doubts right now, give the baby your last name.. i gave both my girls their biological fathers last name.. now im in the process of trying to change them both to my last name..
Wow some people no the baby should not have its fathers last name at all its up to you if you want what ever name me and my hubby had our son and we was only engaged then I didn't want him to have just my name bit didn't want him to have his dad's either so he had it double barrled 2 and half years layer we got married now because I had my last name after the - it ment I could just drop it off once we was married so all his schools no him as surname Elliott but on birth certificate it is Elliott-judge
So it is entirely up to you if you want baby to see daddy then maybe think about double barrlled surname
I'm giving my daughter both
The baby she get your last name if Yall not gone be together i still gave my first son h is dad last name n now we not together my son ask me y are our names different n it kinda hurt
I think you should give him both. It is your choice, but the baby is also his, you know?. You could put your last name first then a - and the father's. When your child is old enough he can decide which one he wants to go by. I've had many friends with combined last names. It's nothing out of the ordinary or unusual.
I say yours. Later on down the line he could take you to court for something nd would have legal right since his name is on the birth certificate. It happened to my cousin
I am choosing to not giving my son his father last name just in case he decides to not stick around it's easier to deal with (being a child a father did not stick around) especially when it comes to documents, if the father and I get married later on then the child's name can always be changed.
Im in the same boat. I dont know whether my baby girl should take my lastname or not. Her father will be in the picture but my sister has always told me itll be easier on me if she has my lastname and not his .
Sorry all children should carry their fathers name. It isn't up to us to decide. Plus, just because he is being whatever doesn't mean he isn't the father and he isn't going to be in the child's life etc.
im in the same boat....my an my baby daddy r no longer together BEST THING IVE DONE.....an i dont want the baby to have his lastname bcuz we are never getting married...if u dont wanna be with him give the baby ur last name....ita just easier
If you think you are better off without him and are going to make the decision to separate in the long run it'll be easier for you if your baby has your last name of course your baby will know who the father is but its just a matter of personal choice
Ok thanks ijust dont know whos name to give him :/ maybe both?
Its still his baby. But its your choice. Honestly its just a last name and doesn't really mean anything. My first doesn't have mine or his fathers name he has his grandmas maiden name. My son knows its still a family name so it doesn't matter how different it is
