What last name would you give your kids?

Although I am not a parent yet, and do not want to be for at least another ten years, I grew up having the last name of my dad even though my parents were not together. If I ever have problems with my future significant other or not, even if he's the worst sbag on the earth, I will always give my child his last name. It isn't fair to place judgment on the child before it even has the chance to make a world for itself. A last name does not say anything. You make who you want to be. I also have a friend who grew up in a small town with a last name her and her four brothers shared. She was a wonderful student, but her father was in prison for sour crimes and her brothers were bad trouble makers. She struggled with holding that last name because teacher and community members already had prejudged her. This didn't help much. Yes it is opposing to my argument, but it made her a stronger person not to p things on people so easily. She learned to live. Giving the father's last name gives credit to the both of you. It is important to matter who you both are.
