Baby’s last name?!

So me and my boyfriend are currently trying for a baby. We aren’t married and don’t plan on it any time soon, we would just rather spend our money on other things!
My problem is the future baby’s last name. I would be happy for the baby to have his last name although I really would like to have the same last name as my child so not sure how to get around it. As far as double barrelling, our last names are both two syllables but they just don’t sound right together! Would love to hear what other people have done!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

You can get married for legal purposes without the big wedding.

How does he feel about baby having your name?

Have your name
Every. Single. Bloody. Time

You don't have to spend a lot on a wedding, sounds like a wet excuse to me
