So I've had a question on my mind for a few days, and the Internet has been pretty useless with giving me answers and thought I'd post here.
If my partner is a quarter Greek, half Scottish, an eighth Irish, an eighth German and the rest English, aand I'm A quarter Greek, an eighth Irish and the rest English, what will our baby be?
TIA

Your baby will be a lucky nanny and hopefully healthy and happy. Not sure about the rest of it tho.

British?

Baby not nanny!

Blimey, you must tick a lot of boxes on the what nationality are you question! Grin

Are you and your partner both British citizens? What citizenship will the baby have? Baby will be "British"? "European"?

Mathematically I would work it out as

Heritage as:
25% Greek
25% Scottish
31.25% English
12.5% Irish
6.25% German

Though in your numbers your partner adds up to more than 100%

If you asked me for a non math based answer I would ask where will DC be born and there is your actual answer :)

I think your partner has too many quarters/eighths mathematically speaking.

And 'citizen of the world' is your best bet.

A human baby.

Do you mean genetically?

heateallthebuns · 23/09/2017 15:32

Or legally?

Never get how people work these out, it makes no sense. Eg, if you're a quarter Greek it means one of your parents was half Greek? One grandparent all Greek? But they'd have been the same as you, a random eighth or quarter something else along the line, but you've pigeonholed them as 'just' Greek for your calculations. So based on that you should be 'just' British to your child (if that's your current nationality) and make them half/all British - how do you work out when to be 'bits' of stuff and when to be 'all' one nationality for heritage? Ends up being nonsense.
