Hi Maree

If u dont think u will stay together rthen its safer not to give his name. Legally he will ahve too many rights. even if ur the full time mother. My partner and i split after 4 yearsb4 i found out i was pregnant, and he wanted the baby to have his name, but i will e raising my child, he will see it when it is convenient for him, so idont believe he should have those sorts of rights. My theory is the main provider and career for the baby is the name teh baby should have.

good luck woth everything, and who knows y may stay together forever
