You can give your child any name you would like to. Your baby's last name doesn't have to be yours or your boyfriend's. You could, if you had the notion, pick a name out of thin air and bestow it upon your child. (Not saying that you would, I'm just saying that you could."
Good luck!

My opinion is DONT provide the toddler his very last call. It appears like there are some issues happening interior the courting that are somewhat fishy to you and he's very immature. So i imagine its interior the perfect interest of you and the toddler that you in common words provide the toddler your very last call. yet an additional reason is that if issues do not artwork out between you 2 and the toddler has his very last call except you're taking it via courtroom even as he has the newborn for visitation he can legally keep him/her and under no circumstances provide the toddler lower back. my sister went via this. her son has her very last call reason her ex is loopy or maybe as she were given keen on a dispute she develop into advised if he ever took the newborn without her permission he might want to get into ALOT of worry because paternity develop into no longer conventional. no longer particular how previous you're yet i actually may flow with my gut feeling. i do not comprehend him in my opinion. You do. so if youre tender with the idea flow ahead only be attentive to factors that could want to happen. and in case your no longer then do not. it would want to continually be further later. goodluck to you. wish i helped.

I was in this situation with my first. While waiting on a divorce, my bf and i got pregnant. my son was born, and i was still waiting on my divorce. When they asked what my son's name would be i asked them if he could have his father's last name even though i was in the middle of a divorce. the lady told me, "you can name the kid brad pitt or big bird if you want to!". so YES, you can give your child whatever last name you want!! this way, when you and your boyfriend are married, there's no hassle to change your child's last name to match your family's. good luck to you, your bf, and your baby! :) congrats!
OH... on another note. the ONLY name on my son's birth certificate was mine. i left the father part blank, because, in my state, it would've legally had to been my ex's. this IS something you may have to go to court for... to prove paternity, and legally get the real father's name on the birth certificate.

actually i don't know what is state to state but in pa you have to get a signed paper from your ex stating permission for your boyfriend to sign and use his last name for your child.....
the hospital will give you a form asking for your exs current address or if you "don't know" write unsure and then there is a time limit for him to sign it and if he doesn't in the time limit well then the baby can keep your boyfriends name..
and also i don't know what this is state to state either but after a certain number of proven years you are considered legally divorced if you sign and he doesn't.

The answer to that would be a big no! At least that was the case for me. You need to go ahead and file for the divorce that way it will be finalized before the baby is born so he/she can have her real fathers name

I think it would require him signing the birth certificate and also you should change your name back to your maiden name just in case. Good luck

no the baby will have your husbands last name,but as soon as you are divorced your boyfriend may get the child's name changed to his then and only then.
