Thanks for all of your help with the first name of this baby. I am going with Norah Grace or Luke Thomas...yeah..that is finanly settled. I will know the sex on Oct 7. Now..the next dilema. The father of this child has left me for his old girlfriend...it is for the best but now I am having trouble deciding on the last name. My last name is Clapp. His is Milburn. Should I use mine or his or Clapp-Milburn. Help me.

good luck.

when i was 18 i had my first child. my boyfriend and i had been living together for just over 1 year but, i really didn't think we would last through the year. when i had our sonm i gave him my last name. at the time i thought it was a good idea but, i didn't tell him i did it. by the time he was 8 months old we had split.
that is when he found out.
we fought for over 1 month about it. i think we fought more over that than anything else about the break-up.
we got back together within 3 months. we are still together and now have 2 more children- they have his name.
we still fight over the last name thing, even though i changed it by his first b-day!!
jeff is 12 now and knows that i didn't give him his dad's name and why. he really doesn't care either way but, he has asked before why i automatically gave matt and cera their dad's name. it is tough. but that's life. it's not always easy.
maybe if we hadn't gottenn back together i wouldn't have changed his name. i don't know.
if there is no chance of you getting back together and he wants nothing to do with the baby i would say give him/her your name. why should a jerk like that get the priveledge to be associated to the miracle of his child?
good luck with your choice.

I think you should go for the dads last name.
