Just letting you know, that you can give the baby his name if preferred, but if you leave his name off the birth certificate, then he has no rights. Unless he wants to prove paternity himself. But that would mean he would be up for child support etc if you do that & it will affect eledgability for FTB. You'd need to have an appointment with a social worker to recieve full entitlements.
Thats something you don't need to think about just yet, but something you may want to keep in mind.
