Sorry for the length :-) thanks for reading!
I will be a single mother due to the unexpected death of my partner early in my pregnancy. My partner and I were not married. I have a 10yr old dd from a previous marriage and kept my married name at the time of divorce. I'm trying to determine the best last name for my new dd. Will she feel left out if she doesn't have the same last name as her sister and I? Is me even considering giving her my (old married) last name super offensive? Should I hyphenate her name? Should I just start hyphenating my own name even though I'm not legally linked to him? Her name will be something that pays tribute to her daddy with or without his last name so that's not a total concern for me but might be for his family.... I'm just trying to figure out what is easiest and best for all involved.
Any ideas?
Re: Last name for baby?
If i were pregnant right now and my bf passed away i would give the hypothetical child his last name.
But only you. Know what is right for your family
