I'm expecting my first child in early June, and it's a boy! I'm not yet married to the baby's father, but we do plan on marrying evenutally (we've been together 7 years). I'm the youngest of 2 daughters and the only one who ever wanted children. Since I have no brothers, I want my son to carry on my last name, and no, it's not a common name like Smith or Jones. My fiancee is ok with this idea since he has 2 other brothers and 2 other sisters. Their last name will def. be able to live on. One of his sisters just found out today about the baby's last name and is upset about it. I tried to explain to her that it means a lot to my family and me to give this child my last name, but she's still upset. Am I being selfish with this? I think her parents will respond in the same manner. Just because my son will have my last name doesn't make him any less a part of their family, but I'm sure they won't see it that way. Should I consider hyphenating our last names or something along those lines???
