I have a child with xh who has a double barrel surename, expecting no2 with new partner and i don't know what to do. Our surnames both begin with L , it doesn't sound too bad together,I've deffinently heard worse.
Thing is my partner would love his surname only but said he will compromise with a double barrel but in all honestly in not keen and my close family said they dont think it sounds right/dont think i should go double barrel again. they think i should give baby my maiden name and not my partners. ( they get on so its not because of that. partner isnt up for this at all.
I've got reservations with having two children by two different men, both with double barrel surnames, i find it embarrassing. But equily im not keen on giving him my partners surname because I'd like a connection to the baby, and it also doesn't feel right to give him my maiden name.
I dont want to upset the partner, but if i give him his name or settle for double barrel, i won't be 100% happy either.
I honestly dont know what to do. I've got 9 weeks to go, and im at a total loss.
Any suggestions.
