hi all, i just wanted to add my experience, my partner and i arnt married and my daughter has his surname. This has proved to be a little confusing for GPs, hospital visits etc. It isnt a big deal but it admittedly does feels strange to be bonded so closely to your child but not share a c?mmon family name. I dont know why i so blindly went about registering her name, i got so caught up in just picking a first name! So i would give your child your name.

All the best,
