Just give the baby your boyfriend last name.

You can legally change your last name to anything you want. All you have to do is go to your local court house and fill out the proper paperwork. You'll need your birth, marriage, and divorce certificates. You'll also probably have to pay a fee. I would also tell your boyfriend before you do. Once you've changed your name legally you can change it on everything else. But make sure you keep a certified copy for other legal documents like drivers licenses and such. Good luck!

You can name your baby any way you want! No one cares about their first or last names. Good luck!

Just tell him that exact thing. If he loves you, he'll understand. You can change your name to anything you want, so taking your mom's name won't be an issue, just need to fill out the paperwork and file it with the courts.

Your baby doesn't have to have your last name, it can have your partners or any last name infact. You should be honest with your partner though as hard as it may be, you don't want him finding out before you tell him as that will be alot worse. He will need to know, you will need to put your maiden name on your baby's birth certificate application and if you guys ever get married it will also need to go on the paper work for your marriage license. He deserves to know now, from you, so it's not sprung on him later.

Also you can change your name to your mother's but you should still tell your partner that you have your ex's name at the moment.
