DP and i are not married but both of our girls have his surname.
He is the only boy left to pass on his surname so i am a little upset we didn't get a boy to keep it going, maybe if one of our girls has a baby she will keep the surname.
One day even if we don't get married i would like to have the same surname as my girls,so might change mine.
We gave our children DH's surname, but we had 4 names to choose from. Mine, DH's mum's, DH's step fathers & DH's real fathers.
We chose to honour MIL's maiden name as he is the last with that name. Her nephew has his mothers name & his father passed years ago, so there will be no more there. The nephews children all have his mothers surname also.
DH had no interest in using his real fathers name & I hated mine growing up, so that wasn't an option! We could've used step FIL's name, but there are quite a few of them to carry on that one.
We've not considered any other option since.
