Do you think that if you are unmarried, the guy has any right to name baby? Or what are your views on the dad naming the baby if he doesn't believe in marriage? Me & Hubby been together 4.5yrs...

    Why do you call him hubby of you aren't married?

    If its his kid and you're calling him "hubby" then, yeah, he can help name the baby. It would be kind of mean to say, "Oh, I feel like we're close enough to call you hubby, but I don't want you to name our baby.." JMO.

    Me and my fiance picked our sons name together.. He has his daddys middle and last name. If it was a girl we were going to use my middle name. And we picked names we really liked for first names.

    I agree with the above

    I don't think marriage has anything to do with it... its just like if y'all weren't together and the father still has legal rights to the child... I think if he's playing the active role of daddy he should have some say, but it should be a joint decision

    We both came up with the name and baby will have my fiances last name..I agree that if ur close enough to call him hubby then why even question it?! My first sons father wasn't ever around after i told him i was prego and still hasn't ever come around so in that case it was a no brainer on giving him my last name! It definitely depends on the situation but it doesn't sound like u have anything to worry about.

    are you talking about the last name?!??

    I would say married or not, its.his baby too and he should have some say in the name of his child, its all about compromise. As for the last name thats tough, my parents were never married and I was given my fathers last name. No complaints doesnt really matter to me. You could always do a hyphenated last name if neither of you are willing to budge. If you plan on marrying him though it would make sense to give baby his last name so you would all have same last name. Hope this helped. Goodluck!
