Decided to double barrel (sp) her sername

[JayK2387]

After lots of horrible rows and bf constantly saying he wouldnt get married, I decided I wanted our little girl to have both our sernames... OH hated this but I told him if we were to get married we'd drop my sername, he said it wasnt the done thing LOL to which I replied no the done thing is usually marriage!! haha!!

SO instead of Megan Olivia Scott its now Megan Olivia Kennedy-Scott...

What do you think??

The names go well together

I agree it sounds great!

I think it sounds fine, kennedy rolls quite nice and scott is nice and short so it's not tons and tons of syllables (sp?) to say!

It's a good compromise. I understand where you are coming from. I always said one of the reasons i would like to get married before having a baby was so we all had the same surname as i'd feel left out. We are engaged and will get married at some point (hopefully next summer) so we are just having OH's surname but i will still feel like the odd one out until we do get wed

If OH had said no to marriage EVER i probably would have been awkward by saying baby had to have my surname then Naaa in reality i think i'd do what you are doing, and if you ever manage to talk him round then you can change you LO's surname when you do yours!

My brother and his gf are having this fight too... She wants to get married he isn't keen on the idea but they are both ready to have kids now. She's holding out for the wedding though!

Her main reason is that she wants them all to have the same name. I suggested changing her last name by deed poll to his and I think she may be warming to the idea as a compromise until they possibly tie the knot in the future.....

I love your names tho - they go together really well.

ps, you might not want to tell your OH about the deed poll thing - best not give him the ammunition lol

my son want's to give his new son a different surname to his or his partners they have called him Harvey John Jamie junior. so his surname is Jamie junior. he said junior because the Americans call there children junior. my son's surname is ord but has all ways being known as Meredith witch is my surname as me and his dad split up when he was 9months old he is now 19. they have a daughter called lily-Mae Meredith she is 2 years old then they had another daughter last year called rose Meredith but she passed away at 21 days old surely they wont be aloud to register him with this surname as it is a suffix please help as this really concerns me as it confusing for the children when they are older

I think the name sounds lovely double barrelled.

The name goes extremly well together to be honest hun x

My OHs children with his ex have double barrel names. Presley-Best and he wanted me to do that with our baby together and Ive said no. We have no interest in getting married but Im totally happy to have the child named Best. Pure and simple. But its each to their own and Kennedy-Scott does go well.

I think the double barrelled name is probably the most sensible solution - it'll avoid any arguments and as you said, if the situation changes in the future, it's easily fixed.

Bit confused about the other post - can't understand the merits of giving a child a surname that neither of the parents have??? Seems very strange to me.

We all have different surnames in our house as I refused to change my name just cos we're married, my daughter has her dads name and I'm thinking about double barreling this baby's name although it might sound like a bottle of wine! I think anything goes these days!

Don't do it! Don't put in the hyphen! Use it as a name but dont hypenate it. Its really non-u
