Is it unreasonable to give your child two surnames?
First baby due in the next day or three. Ideally we only wanted to give the baby one of our surnames but due to a paperwork error we made a few years ago we're in a position where we're forced to give baby both DH's and my surname OR spend 900 pounds to change the name. We may or may not be successful in our efforts to change the name. Seems it might work though. We're not in England - hence the faff. There is no way around the legalities of this.
My question is especially to those of you with two surnames: Is it a total pain? One name is very English and is 5 letters long. The other is very "foreign" and is 9 letters long. We are sad we can't do what we wanted but are also wanting to not create a nightmare scenario for our child.
Thoughts?
