Well She told me i can pick the babies name but now she changed her mind when the time finally came. and i did tell her albert a long time ago but now she just totally changed her mind. I dont know how this is being selfish who the hell would want a name forrist?. Anyways her family is on her side and my family is on my side. ? I think her family made her pick that name...

I done the same thing. My husband wanted to name our son Ozzy and i told him i would let him have his way but when it came time to naming him by god i named him Julian and i did not care at all what he thought cause i think it was my right to get to name him after all the pain i went through to have him.
My husband got over it and he now says that he is glad i named our son.
I would not threaten her with all of that what you have said about the last name and all because all she has to do is go to a lawyer and establish paternity and the said child will have your last name and it will be put on the birth certificate. It may take 6 months to do it or less but when you put her through this i doubt she will want you around.
Why not Forrest Albert?
I like the name Forrest.
If she done named him then it is too late, she will have to go through the courts to change his name and it will be costing to do that.
Why not let her have her way since she was the one who was pregnant for 9 months and then went through the pain of having your baby.

Well, as always the woman dealt with the pain for 9 months so she feels she has more of a right to what her babys name should be. I understand that, however, that is selfish thinking because you were there beside her through all this right? You both should compromise and come up with a good name. I'm sorry dude, but albert is kind of a dorky name. Forrest I don't know none of those names sound appealing, also don't change the babies last name. Give it yours after all if you can't fight to be apart of its first name then at least give it your last. So what your last name may be weird, teach your child that there is more to life then a stupid name.

Well first of all, that's wrong that your girlfriend wouldn't let you have a say so about the name. That's your kid too. Not sure how to fix that though. It sounds like she's just a stubborn person and there's no way to change that so I would just give up and not start a huge fight over it and let her name it. But so what if the kid doesn't have the first name you want, at least give it your last name!!!

you should both have a discussion on the name, and a say. Is there anyway you can compromise, say Forrest Albert ........ You are the father of the baby so I think the baby should have your last name. I would try and talk about it and about a compromise, c'mon, you have a lovely new healthy baby boy, don't let this ruin all the fun times ahead!

Well, I guess this is the first test to see if you will even be able to stay with the mother of the baby. If the two of you can't even agree on a name, how will you choose the real important stuff? The name doesn't even matter. How about potty training, discipline, education, money, etc, etc. If you can't get along now, your screwed. Looked past the little things to the important things, both of you.

I think your being a little immature about all this,the babies not having your surname cos you cant choose his name i mean c'mon grow-up,i dont know what it is with men but you cant seem to choose any decent names and no wonder she went against your decision i mean Albert YUK,the name Forrest is way better.I think you need to grow up and stop acting like a child whos not getting his own way.

Sadly, the father has no say in naming the baby. This is why I really hate feminists. They think everything is turned against women, when in reality, everything is turned against men.

You can't do anything. She filled out the birth certificate, she can give the baby any name she wants, first, middle and last. It's morally not right, but you can't do a thing about it. Sounds like your girlfriend doesn't respect you....good luck with that....

Albert? No, Forrest is better. Don't be a jerk, let the kid have your last name.

i think you sould extremely selfish and rude. She just carried that baby around for 9 excruciatingly uncomfortable months and you are going to make her name him Albert? YUCK!
you dont want your son to have your last name if you cant have your way? Grow up! Youre a father now!
