    Unhappy Changing a Child's Last Name

    My question involves naming a child, last name in the State of: WV
    I am pregnant and me and the father are no longer together. We were best friends and I am very close to his father. I want to give the baby boy his last name, however, we are not sure if he is going to be there for the delivery. Some say I can't give the baby his last name, nor can I list him as the father on the birth certificate. Is there any truth to this?

    Default Re: Childs Last Name?

    You can name the child whatever you wish you just cannot sign the birth certificate for him naming him as the father.
