I am expecting my first and probably only baby. The father and I are no longer together but on good terms.
I was wondering what most people would do with regards to baby's last name in this situation.
My surname isn't anything unusual. Neither is his. But I've always disliked double barrelling! Do people ever use two without the hyphen? Two "formally" but not necessarily refer to them both? One as middle name, but which?! I don't want to offend him so thought suggestions or opinions worth collecting first
If ExP wasn't going to be heavily involved it would be mine, no questions asked, but he's going to want to be there as much as he possibly can be, as do the rest of his family.
