Current Events > Your reaction: Your pregnant girlfriend wants your baby to have her surname

(+) Yeah! (+)

Your girlfriend tells you that she wants the baby to have her surname since it's better than yours.

If married then she wants it to be her maiden name.

Inverse to boyfriend if that way inclined

Married women are kinda fucked for this topic. I guess in their case their partner wants to call the baby Simmons after JK Simmons

How would you react?
What do you do?

I would make the baby's first name her surname

I'd be fine with it mostly because I have a very common last name.

I prefer her surname to mine. She says she wants to change it to mine and I think she's crazy.

Thank God you included that arrow I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking at in the picture

the whole swapping surnames shit is pretty crazy

It's hard enough for fathers with parental rights if you split, if the baby doesn't have your last name even moreso. Would not agree with that.

So true.

Not happening if it's a boy, my surname is too unique and must live on.

Neh. I like my last name and Im the only boy of 4. It won't be relevant though, because I don't want kids. My last name is the only way people know Im Mexican. Or indian. Or whatever. I don't know. The lore got all fucky when my sister did one those tests.

Preferably not, my last name is ethnic so I prefer to pass that down.

This guy gets it. Hopefully it doesn't work against us for managers hiring though >_>. We're not quite over that discriminatory hump. Actually, since mines Mexican, the stereotype might push that one in a privileged area :3. This race shit is so complicating lol

Nah, I'll accept hyphenating both of our names at the most.

Wait you don't want kids but still insist they have your name?

Yes. Im gonna get with a single mom and make her kids adopt my last name. It's what real alphas do. None this bullshit don't date single moms bullshit. No. You date single moms and you dominate other men by making their kids take on your last name. I just don't want to have kids of my own. I want to have one foot out the door for when I get distracted by a traveling circus or something adventurous

Uhhh... bruh? You good?

Neh. But real talk, if I accidentally knocked up a girl, I would encourage her to keep it and try my best. I have a lot of experience with toddlers and teens from hanging out and watching family members. But babies still scare the shit out of me

They're not as complicated as they seem. It's kinda hard to mess it up as long as you're present and paying attention.

Yeah. But anxiety doesn't always give a shit about logic lol. It's not the only reason I don't want a kid. There's deeper more depressing reasons Ive long ago accepted and became fine with.

And the true part of that joke post was that I would actually be completely fine with dating a single mom.

One sided poll so far

Neither... I want any kid i might have to have my actual family name, which is my mums, dads name lol. I have my dads name but we have no connection to his side of the family

why is there a picture and why is there an arrow on the picture

Agreed.

Easier to deny the kid is mine if my wife were to find out.

I couldnt care less. My name means nothing to me, and if her name means something to her, more power to her
