I have a dilemma at the moment. I don't
really know what to do. As you know I am
trying for a baby with Robbie but as I am
a worry wart, I am worrying about
surnames. Layla and Logan have my surname.
I kept my own surname whilst married to
Neil.
However, I would like to marry Robbie and
take his surname. This would mean having a
different surname to the babies which I am
not keen on. Also our new baby would have
Robbie's surname too. To me, it just seems
horrible that the kids would have
different surnames from their mum and
sibling. It would be like they are
seperate and may cause
confusion/jealousy.
As the law stands in the UK, I could not
officially change their name on the birth
certifcate unless it was that of their
biological Dad's. If I wanted to change
their name it would have to be by Deed
Poll and I would need neil's permission.
He would NEVER allow it.
Right now I cannot see a way around it.
Robbie's surname is important to him as
both his parents are dead and he is the
last desedant. Therefore it also important
to him that his baby has his surname.
I don't know what to do. Any advice?

Would he be open to having both of your
surnames, only hyphenated? Some people
find this is easiest since it is the best
of both sides. The baby carries on the
name of the father and the other children
will still feel connected as well.
