my daughters father left when she was 6 months old not seen for the last 6 years im so glad i went with the names i chose and he just agreed with... and her name was his surname til we split up and i went to college then we didnt see him for a whole year - i was worried if there was new staff at the nursery they wouldnt let me pick her up with a different surname and she looked nothing like me i have red hair and she has dark hair... ( i changed her surname by deed poll at the solicitors its free if you are on low income) i think its just easier to go with the surname in who will have main custody like who will baby live with most of the time?
good luck xx
Thanks for that! I have finally managed to negotiate for the baby to have my surname ... much to the disappointment of the father but when i discussed some of the concerns that you had raised he agreed it would be the least confusing for the child! So thanks for your suggestion and comments - they really helped. Now to crossing a few other bridges about the fathers involvement.... should be interesting!
Thats cool. Who knew names could be such an issue hey! I'm currently struggling to tell the baby's father (we're not together) that the baby will be having my surname as opposed to his. So if you or anyone else has a suggestion on how best to go about this please let me know!! But good luck on the hunt

please don't call your baby princess i think its an awfull name and if dad wants to call your baby princess he can always just use it as a pet name if you know what i mean
there is nothing worse than giving a child a name that she wont grow into and would probably hate it when she started school

oohhhh tricky one!!!! .....my cousin had a similar problem.....she wanted the name Joshua for her son as that was our great grandfathers name but James (her ex) was dead against it, so my cousin went ahead and called him Joshua any way and now the whole of his dads side of the family call him Junior insted.... the poor kids' so confused bless him!!!....... good luck with that one lol xx

thats great advice, thanks hun!! x ill let you know if we find any decent ones x
Hey, I agree with the others in saying your not being selfish! But an alternative that may work is finding a name with the meaning princess or something alike that hopefully the two of you will both agree on. I know that the father of my baby has been coming up with some equally inappropriate or horrible names and this is the approach I am trying to take to acknowledge his thoughts as well as be honest about my own.
