Need help on name

[Jodiejacob22]

Me and my partner are having a disagreement ,
Were expecting a girl next month and he has chose a name or her . I'm fine with this but now he's demanding to have her last name with double barrel . I've agreed but on the condition it's his last name then mine . He's kicking up a right stink over it so which sounds best :
Molly lake-Jackson or
Molly Jackson - lake
Please help he's told me it's his way or the high way .
If he leaves he leaves but I've told him it's pathetic he wants to go all coz of a name .
Any advice ??

Well, TBH, from the little you've said it sounds like him leaving would be a Very Good Thing.

Jackson-Lake sounds better if you must.

Is he really going to leave you? He sounds like a twat.

In terms of the exact question you asked, I think Jackson-Lake flows better.

But I agree strongly with the previous poster that the name is not the real issue here. If he's got a bee in his bonnet about this one thing, then it is probably solveable, but is it 'my way or the high way' for a lot of other things too?

In which case, think carefully about the future.

If he's going to be such a dick before she's even born I'd be making sure she only has your surname. If you are not married then he can't register the birth without you present.
I think both double-barrels sound cumbersome, Jackson-Lake is slightly better.

Were not married but engaged , I've let him take controll on most of the things eg picking first name , pram , clothes etc and now I take a stand he's being a dick !! I don't want to back down just fed up of his petty ness over it . I hope he sorts him self out as only 5 weeks till she arrives .
But now he's saying he will be at the birth then go straight to work after , what dad does that . I'm trying not to stress about it . I just don't understand why he doing this . I've said when were married I will drop my last name so it's just his . Why can't he be happy with that .

You poor thing, he sounds like a right little dictator. If he's threatening to leave because he isn't getting his way on this one issue I'd be very tempted to let him walk out the door.

Don't back down just to keep him sweet as the next time you try to assert yourself the same thing will happen again.

Good luck.

Don't marry someone who gives you ultimatums of that kind, whatever else you do.

I think lake-jackson sounds better with molly (2-1-2 syllables). If eg the name was Anne, I'd say Jackson-lake (1-2-1 syllables). But threatening to leave about this sounds like he is seriously confused about his priorities.

Okay, from the sound of it you should put your name first out of principle. Honestly, if he's threatening to leave over a NAME, then he may as well just leave anyway, so she should have your name first so that it's not weird if at any point in her life she decides to just use yours. It will also make you feel like more of a family if you have kids with another man later on.

None of my business, and pre-emptive, but that's how is sounds as an outsider.

I think Molly Jackson-Lake sounds better but Molly Lake-Jackson doesn't sound bad. If he doesn't care about either of you, just call her what you want.
