Last name - parents not together

[AuntMarch]

I am expecting my first and probably only baby. The father and I are no longer together but on good terms.

I was wondering what most people would do with regards to baby's last name in this situation.

My surname isn't anything unusual. Neither is his. But I've always disliked double barrelling! Do people ever use two without the hyphen? Two "formally" but not necessarily refer to them both? One as middle name, but which?! I don't want to offend him so thought suggestions or opinions worth collecting first

If ExP wasn't going to be heavily involved it would be mine, no questions asked, but he's going to want to be there as much as he possibly can be, as do the rest of his family.

He was a little pissed off at the time though.

Either yours or even if its not ideal, double barrelling is a nice option to have both surnames. Your name first if you double barrell though

@divgirl2 that is a very good point!

My name is definitely going to feature.

@stellarfox is there a significance to which is first?

I like the idea of your surname with father's surname as a middle name.

I haven't got round to changing my passport to my married name and have had trouble travelling with our child who has fathers surname.

Your name 100%
Why wouldn't you?

Absolutely 100% yours
