    You can call your child anything you like. It sounds as if you are getting pressure from each and everywhere about babys surname, but at the end of the day - do as you please! Its between you and BF really. BF can be on the birth certificate and baby can have either or both surnames.

    OH and I had our first before we were married and gave baby his surname. When we married, I double barrelled his name and my maiden name, so even after marriage I have a different surname from the kids and hubby. And to aliviate fears, it has caused NO problems whatsoever, before and after marriage.

    And as far as I was concerned (like donna-j) the kids are his too and I have never had a problem with their names.
