USA male married to Mexican women. Our newborn will use both last names. Most common, dad's last name first ?

Answer 1

In latin america it's common for the father's name to be used first, then mom's

Answer 2

in the USA it's most common to use the mother's maiden name first. For example: Mother's last name is Johnson, Father's last name is Smith, child's name would be Johnson-Smith. As women traditionally take on their husband's last name with marriage, the child also has the father's name as the official "last name".

Answer 3

The dad's last name first is the most common.

Answer 4

If you use both last names, the one you use first will become the "middle name"... I used to have my mom's first, and it was always used as a middle name and my dad's as a last name... It was a hassle, so I took it away.

In Mexico, however, dad's name is first

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7
