is tjat wrong if me to change the middle name ?

So my bf broke up with me two months ago. Now he decided I should move out too as much of a stress as that is....but we agreed to name our son Liam Wolfe Lockett. The last name is his of coarse the first name I liked too but the middle name is after his mother. Its her maiden name and it always sounded off to me. But because I loved him I said OK I'll let that be his middle name....now that we are not together and he won't be around niethrr will his mother for that matter I kinda want to change the middle name to a name I like and I feel is better than Wolfe....he will be furious but I'm giving him the last name. And the first name I wanted Elijah but he liked Liam.

Seriously mama, I wouldnt give baby his last name. When me and my bd broke up I decided right then my son would not have his dads last name. Im the one going to be taking care of him. Enrolling him for school. Taking him to the dr. It makes sense for him to have my last name. Do what makes sense for you and your family.

I gave my son his father last and first  name and I regret it horribly to this day cuz he hasn't been around at all he wanted him to carry his name and now I think why should my son carry a man name who picks up the phone maybe twice a year to call him ... I'm working on having his, last name changed but it a process I hope u go with naming u r little one what u feel is best you have to call him by that name good luck with ur decision

I would probably give him the same last name as my other two kids. Maybe put his last name as the middle, like was said. Or do a double last name, Lockett-Smith, etc. It would be different if you were together but now I would definitely want them all to match, they're siblings.

You should name him what you want for first, middle, AND last name.  How is your baby going to feel when hes older and has a different last name than the rest of you?  I think you should give him your last name, and bd's last name could be the middle name maybe.  My daughters have a different last name than me and its a huge pain.

That's what I was thinking. My other two kids have my last name not their dads. So this was a big deal for me.

Liam is a wonderful name but if he isn't going to be around and help you raise the child I say name that sweet prince whatever name you like your his mom and they can deal with it and be happy he at least got the last name.
