Who's name does the baby get?
Answer:
Either one, you could even make one up. Pretty weird, huh.
Either.
Either way. It's up to you.
I plan on giving my baby my boyfriends last name.
Depends on the state, but usually if the father's name is on the birth certificate his last name can be given to the child.
If you are in the UK you need the Father to give his consent if you are not married and wish to give the child his name.
Its all up to the parents. IF the father is in your life, and will be in the babys life then hte baby should have his name. but if hte father is not going to be in hte babys life or is a drunk or drug addict i would suggest to give the baby your name. but go over your options. Good Luck
That is for you to decide. If it were me I would give the baby my last name until I was married to his/her father and change it after. A lot of people will tell you to give the baby the fathers last name because it's easier to get child support. My thinking is that if the relationship between the baby's parents doesn't work out the mother will have a different last name than her child. Fathers can and do walk away easily...not so with MOST mothers.
Make your decision based on how YOU feel about the entire situation. It is your choice. Good luck and congratulations on the baby!!
the always gets the fathers name. but if you want the child to have yours thats can work too. but in other case where the mother doesn't know the father she would give the child her name. good luck
The baby can get either name, but you should make sure he agrees with your choice. I would suggest that you give him/ her a hyphened name just in case marriage is in the picture. GOOD LUCK
My husband and I were not married when we had our first child. We gave our son his last name. I guess you have to ask yourself if you feel that the father is dedicated to you and this child or not and make your decision from there. If he has no intentions towards you and your child, then I suggest you go with your name... if the dedication is there than give him the honor of giving the child his last name. As women we get the joy of creating life, all he's got to give besides love and care for this child is a name and that is an honorable thing if he is an honorable man... hope this helped... good luck with your decision and your new life with your child (congratulations)
I am not married to my baby's father and when it is born I am going to give it his name. I really dont think that it matters.
as lomg as the father is there to sign papers saying hes is the father, then you can give him/her the fathers name. But by law,if the father isn't there,and he does NOT sign papers,then the baby gets your last name.
