My wife's family have all passed on to be with the lord, their family name is going to die off and I know how special it is to my wife - as her family were great people. Is it okay to give our kids her maiden name so the last name will carry on?

Absolutely. Its up to you and your partner. As far as the other posts about having different last names as your kids, so what? The only time you run into an issue is when visiting a different country and just bring their birth certificate. No problem. My mother was remarried and I didn't have the same last name. No-one had issues, ever. If you are trying to keep a family line going, thats very noble of you. I am the last kid ending 2 family lines. My mother couldn't have any sons. :( If I have more than one son, I will give the second son my maiden name ... if my husband agrees. :^)

you may provide your toddler any call you like, which incorporate the surname! you will desire to call her Mary Banana in case you quite wanted to! there is not any regulation putting forward the toddler has to undergo the surname of one of the mothers and fathers. So definite, you're completely entitled and arranged to do this. you additionally can legally substitute your guy or woman call, and that i think of on your project i could do this as i could desire an identical surname as my toddler, and additionally a surname i'd desire to be happy with, so according to probability it is something you will desire to evaluate too :-) Edit: LOL i admire how the only answerer to get a thumbs up as unfavorable to a thumbs down is the single answerer who have been given it incorrect! you're able to do this with out changing your call if needs be, have confidence me!

History can be made to be just that! Who says you have to use your last name? I know when our children were born we decided then what the kids full names would be and we as well tossed around her maiden name. The only reason we didn't do that is because our last name would be different and we couldn't afford to change it. ( i really wouldn't have wanted her maiden name anyhow!)ssshhhhh!!!!!

of course it is. This is a decision that can only be made by the parnets. I know a couple who decided to do this because the father's last name was really funny sounding and long and complicated. They all took the wife's name.

There is nothing wrong with that, and it is, in fact, a very sweet sentiment. There could be potential problems, however, with the child being teased for not having the same last name as you, and people not believing that you are the child's parents without a birth certificate.

Unfortunately...that would mean that you would now have different last names. If that is okay, then you go right ahead. My family name will not carry on bc we have all girls, but I am going to name my little girls middle name as my last name. Really it would be after my mom, who even after the divorce wanted to keep our last name, so she stayed with her married name. I dont speak to my father, so I dont care about his name being carried on, I just want to honor my mom and me by having our name as her middle name.
I dont know...I dont want a different name as my baby or my husband.

I suppose that is between you and your wife. Another option is to use her maiden name as a first or middle name.

sure. why not? If single mothers can give their babys the father's last name... or take on their own, I don't see why you couldn't do it with your child. You might want to check with the birth certificate office at the hospital to see if there are any laws about it or whatever... they may know more about the process.

I don't see why not. I am not sure what that will do about your parental rights though... maybe nothing hopefully. I would talk to your local social securtiy office, they would know more about that. How about a hyphen with both of your names? Would that work? Hope this helps.

Do you want your kids to have a different last name than you and your wife?
