I want my baby to have my last name.

Celeste

I’m not married to my current boyfriend. But I have 2 boys from my ex husband. I regret everyday to this day that my ex wouldn’t let me give my boys my last name (hyphenated with his) and I let it happen. (we weren’t married at the time). Now I’m pregnant and want the same thing. My boyfriend told me no, it goes against everything he’s ever wanted. But I feel like he’s doing it because he wants it to be known as HIS child. If we were to marry then I’d drop my last name from my child’s name. Somebody please give me advice.
