Legally you could give him any of the 3 last names. It's your preference. Since you're seperated from your husband and he's not even the father, I think it's the right thing to do to give the baby your last name, unless of course you're planning on getting back together with your husband.

You can legally give him the real fathers last name. It doesnt matter what he want or you can have you husband adopt the baby and have his last name

You are the Mom, you are the one giving birth. You can use your maiden name, since you are certain that the father is not your estranged husband. If he wants to try paternity tests, his feelings will be hurt. Again. Best of luck (and the father is a shitheel for lack of involvement---screw better men!)

You can name your child whatever you want to. Just write it in the lines on the application for a birth certificate. They'll give you the app. at the hospital. Thats it. DONE.

She would desire to offer the baby in spite of the fact that call she presently makes use of. If a baby has the comparable call because of the fact the mummy fewer eyebrows are raised, extremely in school. although, double barrel the guy's call and her maiden call mutually.

You sound like a candidate for the Maury Povich show. Maybe even Jerry Springer.

You can I believe give him your last name and that is it. So if your last name is currently the same as the family's I believe it is okay.

Yes, you can name the child whatever you want (even something totally different from you or your hubby's last names). there is no law that regulates how to name your children.

Depends what state you live in. In Virginia, they automatically give them the mothers last name. No matter what the situation and no matter what you request.
