nta... i wouldn't do it. my fiance and I agreed on the first name, their middle name is from my family and their last is his. also, NOT ALL TRADITIONS ARE MEANT TO BE KEPT.

You are not the AH. However, your friends are right, there's no reason to fight about it now when it's not an issue. Maybe the compromise could be that you do use his families traditional first name and use your choice for the middle name and call your son by his middle name. How many men do you want with the same name in one room at one time, for example at holidays or birthday parties. You call that name out and five different guys turn their head. It could be a little monotonous and time consuming.Also, it really should be your choice whether you want to keep your last name or take your husband's. If you feel like you are going to lose your last name, you don't have to use your husband's at all. your husband needs to be a little more compromising and realize he can't make all the decisions. You might want to think more about this and see it as a red flag in other situations. Does he always want to, or get to, be the one making the decisions???

My hubby didn’t want to hyphen my last name either but I still did it. And he signed the birth certificate 5 times like that. He gave in. He said We are making our own traditions.

Hi :
NTA! Boundaries must be established before it gets more serious. Plus, the parents of the baby have the only saying in the name of the baby! Period!

NTA. This kind of argument is a deal breaker though. They want two different things from marriage and children and it'll only get weirder. This is one of many reasons my marriage failed.

Lady, you're better off just walking away from this and finding somebody who is willing to hyphenate your last name and start new traditions with you. This guy sounds like a piece of work. What's been worked over by the his family, and like you said, he has brothers and sisters, what can carry on the tradition, what he doesn't need to, but he feels obligated to
