Curious? Anyone NOT giving baby the fathers last name?

[lou_w34]

You can give LO whatever name you want (I think!) X

Thats what i thought! But im sure i read that you needed FOBs permission if you wanted to give LO his name, but not have him on the BC? Doesnt make sense really if you could give LO a different name altogether really does it? lol

i think i'll stick to giving LO my surname and leaving him off the BC, not that he'll be around to register with me anyway!

 

[~RedLily~]

LO has my surname

Thank you..I am not making that mistake again. My last one has a nerve to be a jr!!!!And his father is a idiot. I refuse to that this time time around. I feel better.

since i'm from germany and we weren't married it never even crossed my mind to give her his surname although we were in a relationship. somehow i grew up with unmarried people always giving their LO's the mother's name. over here in the US that seems to be different and more people give their LO's the father's name, although not being married.

well, since i'm not with FOB anymore, she'll definitely have mine... which isn't really mine either, as i kept it from my marriage because it works a lot better in english speaking countries than my maiden name "Sass" (notice the ASS!?). so me and her will have the same name, but nobody else in the family

Charlie has my surname, never even crossed my mind to give him his!!

I didn't. Tom took my name.

OH and I are still together, but aren't married and my baby will be taking my last name. We do have a rocky relationship, so that's one reason why LO will have my last name. Also it makes more sense for school, dentists, doctors, hospital, and passports as well. OH wasn't very happy, but I put my foot down and no matter how euphoric I feel after the birth - LO will have my last name no matter what.

 

[whoops]

I like FOB's last name, but not a chance would I ever give my child a different surname to mine, even if we were in a relationship.

 

[wishuwerehere]

She has my surname, but her dad's surname is one of her middle names. Makes it easier because I'm the one who'll be doing the vast majority of doctors/dentists/schools etc. but he's still part of her name

 

[MissRichards]

Im not, I made that mistake last time and changed it by deed pole, I dont want my babies to have a different name to me x

exactly same here xx

 

[KiansMummy]

my lo has my surname xx

Funny enough when DH and I were talking about marriage I told him I don't like hyphenated names but wouldn't give baby his name if we were not married. Growing up everyone I knew had at least 1 kid before marriage and the kid always got Dad's last name. Now it just seems more practical to keep mom and the kids with the same name.

Not that it was an issue - took forever to conceive DS.

 

[QuintinsMommy]

Quin has my last name so happy with my choice, but FOB isn't in the picture at alll

 

[Caitlin.]

I gave my baby girl my last name.

 

[Neferet]

Isaac has my last name. Me and FOB were never together, so I never even considered giving him FOB's last name.

I will tell you I had my son on june 23rd and I gave him my last name, his father is not in his life nor does he want anything to do with our son, so I think it is the best idea to give YOUR child your last name... But thats just me, to each his own! If you need to talk I am here

 

[midwestbelle]

I gave him my last name. Despite the protests from FOB and his family. The one thing I stood up to them about. and FOB is very involved in baby's life.

 

[Second Chance]

Its still your decision to make, in my opinion your child should have your last name if it happened to be his too great! But UT should be yours
