[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. People who know people who have done this - where were they located? DC has some rules about what last name can go on the birth certificate, so I'm wondering if they will give us a hard time about it...

"The child’s last name on a birth certificate

District law determines the last name (or “surname”) that can be given to a child. The last name can be:

The mother’s surname when the child was born;
The father’s surname when the child was born;
Both parents’ names, recorded in any order, hyphenated or unhyphenated; or
Any surname to which either the mother or father has a familial connection.  The District’s Vital Records Division requires a parent to sign an affidavit attesting to the familial connection.

For the father’s last name to be the child’s last name, he has to be recognized by law as the father. "[/quote]

Combining last names is a mistake.  People will be confused when they see his school directories.[/quote]
