I'm having a debate with myself. My parents want the baby to have my last name and his will surely want it to have his. Marriage after we're out of school has been part of conversation. So, it's possible that if we give it my name it will have to be legally changed. Then again these aren't for sure plans, that's still a year away. But I was wondering if anyone has given their baby the fathers name and regreted it or vise versa. Thanks.

I was given my mother's last name when I was born and when she married my step-dad she changed it to his. Then they got divorced and she made me use my orginal last name but never actually changed it and I had to do it myself when I started college. Personally I would give my son my husband's last name even if we weren't married (or if I hadn't choosen to take his last name). It is kind of a pain to change a last name later, but it's not that bad. If it makes you feel better giving your child your last name until you are married, than do it. But don't feel bad about your decision, no matter what it is. Good Luck.
