[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You keep your name, he keeps his name, and the baby gets his name. If you want, you can give the baby your name as a "first" last name, which is basically a middle name.[/quote] Why can't we use his last name as the "first" middle name?[/quote] I think that's the convention in most Latin American countries. But the US is not a Latin American country, and usually when a child gets both parents' last names, the father's last name is the last last name, the official one.[/quote] Please note the distinction between "the child usually gets the father's last name" and "the only choice is for the child to get the father's last name". I know plenty of people who were born right here in the US who do not have their father's last name.[/quote]
