[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming the deceased former husband was generally a good husband and an eager dad to be I would definitely want my child to keep his last name to remember and honor him. Also if you /your son still have a relationship with his extended family (grandparents etc) imagine how hurtful it would be for them to see their son’s legacy being erased.[/quote] The deceased husband/father was dead before the boy was born. There are no memories. [/quote] He was her husband and is the biological father. Presumably they planned for/about the baby together even if he didn’t live long enough to meet him, and hopefully the mother is passing these memories on to her son at the appropriate age. His son is part of his legacy and changing his surname just seems wrong. [/quote]
