Bf / baby daddy.

Boyfriend / BD doesn’t want to marry me because we’re expecting our first child and it’s exciting. Well, he’s very aware come April 2025 and I’m not married then the baby will not get his last name before me.

the baby should have your last name , as you are not married and if he doesn’t agree then he knows what to do , you could have problems in the future like travelling you would have to carry the birth certificate and letter from the father for certain countries

I don’t understand??? He’s excited to have to have the baby so he can’t put a ring on you??

@Shimaya he doesn’t want to take away the excitement of having a baby.

If you do not have wedding details planned, JUST WAIT. If you rush to plan a wedding, you'll make hasty decisions, book wherever will take you, buy whatever is on the shelves, scrap together whatever catering and DJ you can find, and hope for the best If you are planning to have a simple courthouse wedding, all of that above does not apply. Lol. Go get married first, if it's important to you, then have the baby! Courthouse weddings are low key either way. If you are planning to get married just because you are going to be parents I would highly advise you skip marriage altogether. A child is not the best foundation to build a relationship.

But it’s his baby too? Surely you have to make an agreement on the name

If you get married after the baby, you can change the birth certificate to put your new surname on That’s what I was told, but obviously will incur costs

@Rheo not in the state I’m in. My state supports the mother / child if you’re unwed. And to have any right to the child and his last name you have to do a paternity test or written agreement at birth to have his name.

Doesn't want to take away the excitement?! BS! My fiance proposed to me in Feb and our baby was born in May! We're not married yet but she has his last name

my bf and i just had our baby and we plan to get married next year. we put both our last names for our baby-

@Mia when you marry will you all have the same surname?

@Rachael im not sure yet i kinda wanna keep my name in the family but bc my family would like that but originally i thought i would take his. we will see. i hear its extremely hard to add or change names on babies birth cert and such so maybe just keep both
