Should we have her full name on the birth certificate ?

Question

We have decided to call our baby Milly when she is born in December. I wanted to have Millicent on the birth certificate and call her Milly still but my partner wants just Milly on her birth certificate, should it be full name or just short name?

Answer

The birth certificate sets the name in stone. It will be on her social security card and that will be her "legal" name. Sounds like your SO doesn't like the name you picked.

Answer

What will her legal name be? Milly or Millicent ?

Answer

Just remember whatever name is on her birth certificate is what she will go by for the rest of her life unless she states she has a nickname
