Questions & Answers

i think your baby should have your name. It is because you are going to be feed him/bringing up and you have to bought their clothes and other thing. The same case has also happens with my best friend. When she was 18 she born a cute baby girl. His father leaves before the delivery and went her wife alone. My friend don't give up and after the birth of their daughter she gives her, her last name. Now the baby girl is 5 years old she is going to school. No one ever asked that girl about his father. They both are living happily and my Best friend bringing her up. I recommend you to give your baby you last name. It Also depends on you what you name you give her. The lines above are my personal experience and my personal opinion. Choosing the name for you baby is very important. A father has no right to insist that his last name is used.If you love the baby father than at least you can talk with him about the baby last name. These are all my opinions. Do what you want to do. Best of luck.

Your name, of course!
You could always acknowledge him by giving Baby a middle name from his side of the family, or derived from his name?

I had my 1st child when I was 15 and he has my last name, when I change it to get married he will have the choice to keep my maiden name or the new 1. It's your choice. Id stick to your lat name, if that's what you want. I've never regretted doing this even with the fighting that went with it. I knew I'd always be there for my child even if the father isn't. Good luck!

Thank you all for your input! :)

I say give the baby your last name! I had my first baby when I was 16 and I am so thankful that I gave her my last name! The dad turned out to be a real pos! I have never once regretted giving her my last name.

It's a personal choice. Keep in mind that should you ever marry and change your name your child will not share a last name with either parent.

I say if you're not married, baby get's your last name. But that's my personal opinion.
