Baby's last name
close [x]
I recently found out I am pregnant. I will be a single mom and the father will not be in that babies life (we live in different states now). I don't want to give the baby his last name for that reason. Is that wrong?

Congrats on your pregnancy! No, you are absolutely not wrong. I wouldn't either. I imagine giving him a surname he doesn't share with anyone involved in his life would only confuse him, anyway.
Totally agree with this! Good luck :)
Agreed. I go by the even if I'm with the father if we arent married the baby will get my last name. If we get married while the child is young we can always change it.

Heck, I don't think children should automatically get dad's last name even if he is involved and mom doesn't share his surname.

Not at all...I think that you should do whatever you feel is right for you and your baby.

Congrats on your pregnancy!I would say if you are going to be the only active parent in your child's life, it makes perfect sense to give the baby your last name.

It would make it easier on you with school and stuff to just give your baby your last name! So no, that isn't so wrong!

Hello! 1st of all Congratulations on your pregnancy!! If you don't want to give your baby the "father's" last name then don't! I am not sure what the situation is, if the father does not want to be in the baby's life (totally his loss) or if it is just because you live in different states, but if you are raising this baby by yourself then you have every right (of course) to give your baby your last name & in my opinion you should. You can always tell your child when they are older & if you really want to you can change it in the future but I certainly don't believe that just because he is the "father" your child should have his last name. When my son was born (I wasn't married to his father at the time & we have since divorced) I hyphenated our last names (that is also an option) but if this man does not want to be in this childs life then I see no reason at all to give the baby his last name or hyphenate both of yours. Good luck & message me anytime! :)
