Baby name last name question....?

I have a boyfriend but we are not married. I don't really want to give the baby his last name but he says that it's disrespectful if I don't.








What do you guys think about this?

Baby name last name question....?
Give the baby your last name..
Reply:Historically, this is what I have seen.





Guys who aren't serious enough to commit to marrying the mom, won't stick around until the child is grown.





Moms who's child is named for the absent father or his relatives


finds her negative emotions aimed at the child, rather than toward the absent father.





Thinking longterm and for the emotional health of both mother and child, If and when the parents are married - the child would take the name of the father.


If the father has not married the mother by the time of the birth,


I believe wisdom shows it is better for the baby to have the mother's last name.
Reply:You could always give the baby both your last names, like hyphen them. Like Johnson-Smith, for example. Your last name should be first, then his.





If you don't think your relationship will last that long, it's probably better to give the baby your last name.





But, if you are planning on getting married in the future, then it would be better to give the baby his last name.Then you wont have to go through the trouble of changing the baby's last name to his when you do get married.
Reply:It isn't disrespectful at all. In fact, it is disrespectful of him to act like he has more claim over the last name than you do simply because he is the guy. Give the baby your last name.





20 years ago people told women it was disrespectful not to take a man's name when they got married. Sometimes people are so old-fashioned and ridiculous.
Reply:Perhaps he should marry the mother of his baby before offering his unimportant opinion. You should definitely not give your baby any surname other than yours especially on it's passport. It can make travel in some areas of the world tricky, you may be required to show papers to prove the child is yours. Tell your BF it's more disrespectful to get someone pregnant but not marry them!!
Reply:Do you live together? Are you planning on getting married? If not, I'd give the baby your last name, because it could be hard having a different last name than your child if this guy is out of the picture. If you think he'll stick around, then give the baby daddy's name.
Reply:I'm not married and my baby has my last name and to this day I couldn't have made a better decesion give the baby your last name then if you do get married then you can change it to his if you wish go with what you want to do. Dont listen to the person above her husband is probably a control freak. U do what you want I did the same and I love that i made that decision even if they didnt' want me too
Reply:i do believe it is disrespectful if you dont' give the baby the dad's last name. he helped make it and he should get some acknowledgement in the situation. you are naming him on the birth certificate aren't you.
Reply:I don't think its disrespectful. Maybe you could use his first name as your child's first or middle name if its a boy, with your last name. Or if it's a girl, you could use his surname as the middle name.
Reply:It isn't disrespectful. It's your choice.
Reply:Me and my fiance hyphened our last names, McCorgan-Pitt. Just an idea. Also a reasonable solution.
Reply:Try a compromise. Give the baby his last name for a middle name.
Reply:well u must be serious with this guy so u guys should both decided and hopefully you'll work out something
Reply:I would hyphenate both of your last names. Preferably yours-his.
Reply:Thats wierd either get married or don't take his name
Reply:i wouldnt if you dont want then give the baby your name
Reply:i would give the babyyy your last name..

Baby name ideas!?!?

So me and my boyfriend have come up with some baby names. For the girl I like the name Laila Alexis, or Suby Grace, and for the boy my boyfriend likes Blake Robert.


Just some opinions on what you all think.

Baby name ideas!?!?
They're all very unique. I love the name Laila Alexis and the spelling too. Don't worry about what other people are saying about your names, hunny. Follow your hearts because it's not them having the baby..and none of these people will ever even meet your baby, so do whatever you want.
Reply:Laila Alexis: I don't like the double A with LailA Aexis. I don't think it flows well at all. I also prefer Layla to Laila. If you go with Layla, choose a more classic middle name like:





Layla Catherine


Layla Madeline


Layla Caroline





Suby Grace: I'm sorry, but what on earth is a "Suby"? I really hope you meant Ruby! In that case, Ruby Grace is a great name.





Blake Robert: My ex just had a baby named Blake and I could not figure it out. It's like naming a new baby Bryan. It just doesn't fit...it's such a dated name. Robert is a nice middle name though. I actually prefer Robert Blake.
Reply:I adore the name "Laila Alexis" - it flows perfectly and sounds beautiful. I'm not keen at all on "Suby" - how about "Ruby" instead? "Ruby Grace" is gorgeous, I'd find it hard to pick between the two!





"Blake Robert" sounds a little awkward personally although it depends on baby's surname. I think it flows better reversed to "Robert Blake" but that's just my opinion. Go with your hearts
Reply:Unlike everyone else, I like Suby. It's original, I haven't heard of any other child named it.


I also like Laila, that's a very sweet name. Love the spelling as well, once again very original.


Blake is an okay name, but with Robert after it, it seems to bland, two commonly used names after each other. I still like Blake though





:D
Reply:Laila Alexis is great!!


My son and I have the first 2 initials LA so now I'm obsessed with finding the same for a second child (don't worry, I won't steal yours...lol)


I really like the spelling you chose for Laila. I also like Blake Robert (Robert is a nice strong name)
Reply:those names don't really work for me but how about........





- Paige


- Aiden


-Espyn


- Trent








P.S. Suby is just Busy all mixed around!





hope i helped!
Reply:suby is not pretty at all.... but how about





girl names: myosha, domonique, unique,





boy names: daniel, ryan,
Reply:Sorry, but honestly I don't like these names. Try something more Original.





and those names aren't really good ones. in my opinion.








sorry.
Reply:I like Laila Alexis but I'm not too sure on Suby Grace.


I like Blake Robert as well.!!


Congratulations


and hope I was of some help
Reply:I love Laila but I don't like Suby. Blake is cute but it is very common. My choice out of the girl names would be Laila. :) It's very cute.
Reply:Laila Alexis is cute♥ I don't care for Suby but Grace is alright. Blake is cute but again don't care for Robert.
Reply:i love the name laila alexis and the name grace is nice but suby isnt my fave... blake roberts is a great name its lovely!


Great choice of names!!


:):):)
Reply:I like Laila better than Suby (too much potential for teasing there, imo).





Blake is a nice name, too. :)
Reply:I'm not a fan of Suby. The others are alright.
Reply:I like all three of the names you picked. =)
Reply:my name is a great one. my initals spell the beginging of my name, try doing that with your baby's name =]
Reply:Laila and Blake =]
Reply:ur names are sooo unique





i wanna name my future-kids carmen, michael, rachel, or alice :)

Help with baby name...?

I just found out I am having a girl. We had decided to name the baby Brooks if was a boy.(my maiden name) I know this will be our last child,and I love the name. What do you all think of a girl named Brooks? (please don't suggest Brooke, I don't care for it) Thanks.........this is my first question hope it works...

Help with baby name...?
hmm, idk its just okay but im sure it would grow on ppl. however, her whole life ppl will prob mess up her name and call her brooke by mistake.
Reply:Brooks is very cutee.
Reply:To be honest I'm not keen, sorry





:-)
Reply:Eghhh Im not to crazy about brooks for boy or girl i know they will get teesed it sounds to old trust me im young :p For girl i would say:


Nicole, Kelsey, Macy, Sarah, Hannah, Alexis, Lexi, Taylor, any of those all my friends LOVE those names =] including meeee





and i totally agree with the girl below me how she said people will call her brooke because my friends name is spelled brook and they call her brooke
Reply:I like it. If you're not so sure, use it as a cute middle name. Also, what about Brooklynn? Just a thought.
Reply:I like the name pair it with something like Raina. Raina Brooks (play on words but very cute.)
Reply:I'm not crazy about Brooks, but it's not awful. I just think that she will be called Brooke a lot. If you don't care for Brooke, I'd stay away from Brooks.
Reply:It reminds me a lot of a last name because I knew someone in high school named Steven Brooks but it would be cute as a first name.
Reply:Brooks is a good name for a girl, just pair it with a girly middle name like Kaitlyn or Mikaela.
Reply:I'm sorry but I don't care for Brooks for either a boy or a grl, but less for a girl. I know you said you don't care for Brooke, but it's the same name with one letter different and it's much better for a little girl.
Reply:What's the middle name? At first I didn't like it but then I said it and it is actually a pretty name. I think Samantha,Hannah,or Kaitlin would be good middle names. You should pick something more common and simple for the middle name. The trouble with me is this is our 8th baby(and probably our last,too),and if it's a girl, my hubby wants a more common name and I want something unusual. I don't like names that are just letters put together but this one I actually like. I say go for it.
Reply:Its cute but sounds like a last name.
Reply:I don't really like it for a girl, what about using it as a middle name.





Madeleine Brooks


Rosalind Brooks


Chelsea Brooks



Reply:i like Brooks.

lucy- i just think of the pig from animal crossing


sadie- its the girls name from the crappiest show ever (disney channel? no way! hehe). it sucked so much that it got canceled after a few shows


milean/miley- people will just mock you for naming your kid after miley cyrus even though you didn't.
Reply:Yeah Lucy's a cute name, but dont you think its a bit too popular? Miley's a sweet name, and I can't think of any Miley's except for Miley Cyrus...I'd go for Miley and Sadie, but hey it's your choice, so you decide. Congratualtions! Good Luck for the future :) xxx

A good name for a baby cockatail?

Recently, two of our cocktails have had chicks. We are keeping one, and right now, after about 2 weeks they have yellow feathers. The colour might change though. Any good bird names?

Reply:My advice is to go to a baby name site and pick out a few names you enjoy. Then narrow it down from there- I've named several cockatiels before and this site has helped me greatly. =)
