@dee33, I do im glad she's unique I've never met anyone like that, I hope she stays that way like i said in the last post. i just know how my family raised me:)

Everybody has there own traditions and opinions and I value both of yours @kbuggie20 @chichimango lets except each other's ways 😘😘😘😘

all i was doing was explaining how she might feel and she confirmed it. wasn't getting an attitude, my thoughts will stay the same regardless as I'm sure yours will.

@kbuggie20, let it go.... you completely misunderstood my intention. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRADITION OR TAKING HIS LAST NAME... All I'm saying is that you can do whatever you feel like doing. It's a free world. But fact remains that the taking of one's last name is TRADITION. Lol How you feel about it is beautiful. I wouldn't take that away from you. Just some people like myself prefer to keep their name for personal and sentimental reasons. 'Nuf said...

@chichimango, all I'm going to say is some people like tradition obviously @dee33 and i are some of those people. I will take my fiance's last name, not because of some silly tradition but because I am part of him and so are our children. I will be a Mrs. his Mrs. and you best I will do it representing his last name.

@dee33, you still have plenty of time before the baby is here. Do whatever your heart desires. There is not right or wrong way in naming a baby.

so would my man,@dee33 but I would never do that too him just like I'm sure you wouldnt, I just expect him to give me his last name when the time is here;) fair trade in my eyes!:)

@kbuggie20, it has nothing to do with relationship status. My sister is married and he son had a hyphenated last name. Maybe because I'm not a traditionalist but I was in a relationship for 10 years and married him and kept my last name... it's all on how you want to name the baby. If they plan on getting married and she takes his last name is makes sense, but if they just plan on being a couple who care about each other there's no reason to follow tradition.

We are together we just aren't married one day @chichimango

Exactly @kbuggie20 he would flip if the baby had my last name omg

@dee33, @chichimango if shes anything like me which idk she plans on marrying the father they just haven't done it yet, it's not about tradition. It's the fact they are together and plan to keep it that way, if she was single I'm sure the baby would have her last name. but when your in es relationship with someone you dont do that

@kbuggie20, I knew what she meant. I just don't understand why "tradition" takes over. There is no law or reason why the baby can't have her last name.

@chichimango, i think @dee33 means the same last name as her baby bc the father will have it she want his last name too under stand girl for a year or ssiddo I wont either:(

@dee33, marriage has nothing to do with it. The father of my child was essentially a donor. lol... The baby is going to have my last name. Does he want the baby to have his last name? You can always hyphen or just use your last name. There's nothing wrong with that.

We aren't married @chichimango

Why not? It's tradition to take the father's name not law...

same :/ maybe one day i will
