surname dilemma

[nk1605]

dp and I aren't married. I don't want my dd to have a double barrelled surname as then all 3 of our surnames will be different.

dp and i have plans to marry in the future but i would like to feature in my dd's name.

so im thinking of having my surname as her middle name and give her dp's surname .However, my surname is more of boys name when used alone - is it silly to give her it as her middle name?

My ds dc have their fathers surname as a middle name.

I'm in a similar position. It's going to be my surname as a middle name for DS. We're not getting married, but I'm going to change my name to be double barrelled, so all 3 of us will have the same surname in whole or in part.

We don't have your dilemma over boys name for girl's middle name though, as my surname is a pure surname. However, I don't think I'd have a problem with this if I was you though.

my DCs have my surname. but DS (DC1) has my mums maiden name as a middle name.

give your child a double barrelled surname and then when you get married in the future, you and your husband can also change your surname to a double barelled one, so they are all the same????

My siblings, and all our children (boys and girls) have the same middle name as its our scottish clan name. It's a boys name but it really doesn't matter.

I have a boys middle name as it was my mother's surname. I hate it. I don't use it at all, except on my passport where it makes me cringe. Sorry op, but I wouldn't do it to my own Dd.

Give her your surname and then he can change when you get married.

I'd do what wesH said.

Or Bathtime

I know tonnes of women with male middle names. It is so normal that it is boring. Do it.

Mine are all Firstname Myname Hisname, no hyphens. In practice this makes my name a middle name, although the eldest uses both as surname. It allows for a lot of flexibility.
A friend did the same thing, but Firstname Hisname Hername.
