This is a question to all you ladies not married to your partner or who continue to use your maiden name: who's surname does/will your baby take? Will you use double-barrelled name?
This topic came up over the weekend at lunch for friends - I think people were surprised that I was more than happy for our baby to take on DPs surname. but it's not out of any sense of partiarchy - I simple don't feel attached to my name and although quite a simple short name I've had endless trouble spelling/pronouncing it to people my whole life and quite farnkly wouldn't want to lump a poor kid with it!
What reasons did you have for using the surname you have?
