I can understand your dilemma. My daughters legally have their father's name, but have always gone by my last name (until recently when my oldest wanted to try out her legal name). Now that I'm about to get married, their first question was, "are you changing your last name?" (the answer was, "no, I'm keeping my maiden…

The name "thing" is big for our family too. We have had lots of discussions. It's just as complicated here. My twins (oldest children) hardly know thier dad, he shows up every few years when he is clean (addict) and then disappears again.

As your daughter gets older she may want to have your FI adopt her since you plan on adopting his son. If/when that happens her last name would become his.

I honestly think everybody should adopt any name they want, I don't think there is a *wrong* name to take

Is the concern that your daughter's last name will not resemble anyone one else's last name, once you get married and adopt your FIs child?

Is there any reason you didn't drop the ex's last name once you were divorced? What if you just go back to your "maiden" name as your last name?
