So our baby boy is due in 4 days. I have been with my boyfriend about a year (yes fell pregnant really quickly, not planned) - we had a conversation a while ago about who's last name he will take. Now OH said he would like him to take his name but would be fine if I wanted him to have my name. We do not want him to have a double barrelled last name.
Now... I guess this is 2 fold. I am fine with giving him my OHs last name and maybe using my surname as a middle name (it's not a surname sounding surname if you know what I mean lol) but by our son not having MY last name does this have any disadvantage other than if it were to go horribly wrong he'd be stuck with his dads name? I'd like to think that one day we will get married anyway but you never know.
Secondly, I think my dad is pretty keen for the baby to have my surname for the fact that we are not married. How do I approach this with my family about the possibility of him not having my last name?
How have other couples who are not married approached the surname choice?
Thanks. Xx
