It is the mother as she is the one who will be filling in the paperwork, If you are married then hyphenate.
I gave my son my lastname because my relationship wasnt stable, we broke up and I am glad my son has my name, as he is the only one who is left to carry on my family's name

When parents are married, they usually decide together about what last name their baby will have, but when the parents are not married, there can be some disagreement. In most states there are no rules about this, though in Florida the baby of disagreeing parents receives both parents' names hyphenated, in alphabetical order. If you and your partner are unmarried, the mother is usually the one who has final say about the last name. But when you're married, it's a decision you need to come to together and you're not obligated to use any specific last name for your baby and can even make one up if you want.

I have heard of many people using the mothers name as the middle name and the fathers name as the last name. You can also hyphenate the last name but the first one listed is the legal one used.

Unfortunately she legally has the say. You should just try to let her know how much it truly bothers you without getting angry. Let her see that you are "sad" about it. If all else fails you can give your baby both of your last names. hers first and yours last. Alot of people do that.Good luck thats really sad im sorry for you :(

If I was not married to my baby's father, I would also want my baby to have my last name, not his... I wouldn't want my baby having a different last name than mine.

i think of you the two could would desire to agree on a attractiveness! on account which you the two are going to would desire to fill out the workplace work for the beginning certificates Your going would desire to return to a determination on a attractiveness! Theres no felony concern approximately it! You the two ought to sit down down and make a compromise whether it means determining an entire new call!

why not have it both. a hyphenated last name. say your last name is smith and hers is cook and the baby's first name is Charles. Charles Smith-Cook (usually dads last name goes first)

Well, one of you is going to have to compromise.
How about a hyphenated last name?

I believe the mother is the one who must sign the papers. The father's signature is optional.
