I've got my bubs first name sorted, but something I didn't think about until tonight when someone asked me is what I'll do about baby's surname.

My babies father is not going to have anything to do with bub, he lives overseas and there is no relationship at all and probably never will be. So bub will not have his fathers name.

So naturally I decided bub will have my name, but the problem I have is that I currently have my ex-husbands surname - we separated a couple of years ago and the divorce just went through earlier this year. My XH is not the father of my baby, so I think it would be a bit weird to give my baby his families name.

Any suggestions? I want to have the same surname as my baby, but do you think it'd be right if I gave my bub my XH's name, or should I change my name back to my maiden name and give bub that one?
