I know I have asked a lot..But?

Ok so I decided on Madeline Victoria for my baby girl..But I was thinking since I was raped..and of course don't want to give her his last name would it be strange to give her my boyfriends last name?

He has been my boyfriend for the past year and a half...and stuck with me through me getting raped and pregnant..he is so sweet. I really think He's the one I wanna marry..and he will be the only guy to play the role of her father...should I?

Additional Details

Plus he is already kissing her..and everyone keeps calling hime her Daddy..Idk should I? Ok thanks a lot! Someone mentioned it in my family..so thats why i wondered Until you and Dad make a permanent commitment to each other, Dad can't be a real father to your child, even in name.

Use your last name, hyphen, then his last name. If you break up, just stop using the hyphen and name on the end and let the child go back to using only your name.

I'm SO sorry to hear of the incident. My daughter suffered likewise, and I don't think even now she's back to valuing herself as a fine woman when she was so violated.

I'm not sure what other questions you've asked, so I may be asking something that has already been addressed, but I take it since you just decided on a name, the baby may not be born yet? (I'm not trying to sound sarcastic at all) But, if she hasn't been born yet, I would do what everyone else has said and wait until you two get married. It's great that he's been there for you and I'm so sorry that you had to go through what you did. However, do you think he will change when she is born? Having her in your tummy is a lot easier for him than her being here where he doesn't have to change diapers, stay home instead of going out with friends, buy diapers, stay up all night with her crying. What I mean is, will he be here when the going gets tough? Give her your last name and I would not put his name on the birth certificate! She is YOURS, once you do that and assuming he wants to be a part of her life, you will have ties to him forever, even if it's an ugly break up!

Give her your last name for now - if/when you get married, you can switch her name to his.

Right now, she's yours. He may be playing the father, but technically right now he's legally not the father. If you do end up deciding not to be together later, it might be really painful to have to switch her last name from his to yours - not to mention you'd have to go to a judge and pay for it!!

If you are just a teen then realistically you probably wont be together forever. But I hope you are. In all reality you can give your baby whatever last name you want. You could make something up if you wanted. He could even sign the birth certificate if he wants which would make him her father. Its all up to you. Just keep in mind the future and if you think the 2 of you will get married and be together forever. My kids have their dads last name and we arent married. But getting married Sept 18!

give your child your last name dear. you have no committment from your boyfriend and if things do not work out between you--by law he is shown as her father with his last name on a court document. he will be responsible for that child until dna testing is done. give your daughter your last name and your last name only. if you decide to get married down the road and he wants to adopt--then so be it. but, for now she is your daughter, not his, and your name should be the one on her birth certificate!!!! and he is not htinking clearly if he lets you put his name on it!!!! because his name on a certificate is more than a name in the eyes of the law!

As long as he's up for the long-term commitment of being daddy and won't bail on her if things don't work out, I say go for it. Make sure you talk it over with him and see what he thinks/wants, but I would want you to be either getting married or planning to do so if you're going to skip your last name and go straight to his. He should sign the birth certificate if he's planning on being daddy.

Talk with him about it. If you ever get separated, will he still see her as his daughter? if so he does deserve to be the father... after all, fathering a child is not just being a sperm donor. It's so much more then that.
I'd give her his last name if he was ready to take the responsibilities that comes with it. Anyways, you probably won't tell her he isn't her daddy until she's old enough to understand the circumstances.
He sounds like a sweetheart, you're lucky to have him around.
Good luck honey

No. Give her your last name until you marry this guy. Then if and when you marry him both you and your baby can take his last name.

If you break up you do not want her to have his last name. Plus it complicates things at the kid's school, doctor, etc if mom and child have different last names.

I wouldn't. I would give her your last name, and when you two get married, then you can legally change her name when/if he adopts her.

i would give her your last name,
if you one day get married then you can give her yours,
but until then i would keep it as yours.

good luck and congrats :)

Don't give her his last name until you both are legally together or he lagally adopted her.

I would give her your last name, and if you get married, switch hers as well.

It's nice that he's been with you through all of this :)

i would wait until you get married and he legally adopts her for you to change her last name

thats a pretty first name btw

No, you should not give her his last name unless he legally adopts her.

personally i would give her YOUR last name until your boyfriend gives you his.

gorgeous name!
Give her your last name, and she can change it or keep it when you get married.

As long as he doesn't mind, then go ahead! You can name your baby whatever you want! It's great that he is taking over the responsibility of the little one. I am sure that he will mean the world to her when she gets here. :)
