There are now more and more couples who embark on the joyful pursuit of starting a family with two different last names, which leads many of them to a very modern dilemma: what last name should the baby have?
With insight, warmth and empathy, Lorelei Vashti leads parents-to-be through The Six Last Name Options, with all the challenging conversations, difficult decisions and confusing compromises that can come up with each one.
Weaving in interviews with parents across the US, UK and Australia, 'How to Choose Your Baby's Last Name' encourages new parents to discuss the different last name options before their baby is born, so that they can make a choice that honors their shared pasts, reflects the values of their present, and inspires their future.
