A girl I was with is 3-months pregnant and she sad the baby is mine. Do I have any rights to the name?

We were only together for a month and she is sure it is mine. I don't think she would lie and the date is right on to when we were together.

1. go on the maury show!
2. yes u have full right to name after all u are the father
3. Ya you do because it is still your baby.
4. As to the baby's name, not really. If once the baby is born and you do a paternity test and it comes back positive, I'm sure you can petittion for something, but other than giving her your last name I doubt it. Even married guys don't get any right to the name of their children (the father doesn't get to fill out the birth certificate, only the mother). So even if you and the girl agree on a name, she can change her mind at the last minute (I have a relative who did this to her husband).
5. If the baby is yours, there are more important things than the name. Keep checking up on her and making sure she's doing fine and getting what she needs for a healthy pregnancy and the two of you can work together when the baby comes.
6. Not as far as I know. At the hospital the mother fills out the forms and her word is law.Sorry xoxoxoxo
7. Honestly, i'm sorry to tell you that she has first dibs on picking a name... Have you asked her if you could choose together... You should try to get her to... Tell her how much you want to enjoy this experience... This miracle that you both created should be shared between both of you. That's the only thing I can say...
8. No, you don't have any say in the name, although you are free to discuss it with the mother-to-be. And don't sign anything until you have a DNA test.
9. Yes, if you are father you definitely have rights. Good luck!
10. get a dna test first,dont be a chump
11. If you have any doubts at all about the baby being yours, the first thing to do is get a DNA test. And if the baby is yours, Yes you have rights as a father. As to which last name the baby has is a decision you and the baby's mother have to decide together. Good Luck
12. no and even if you sign the birth certificate it doesnt mean shell have youre last name either.
13. if the baby is taking your last name, then she picks the first name! thats my own rule lol.
14. My rule is:you carry the baby for 9 months....you get to name it!
15. No, you have no rights to the name. It's up to her. Be a gentleman and stay out of it. She is the one who has to give birth to it. Let her name it.
16. don't do a thing until you get a test done to see if you are the father. if now, you could spend a life time paying expenses for some other guys kid.
17. Yes, because it is half your baby although she is the one that has to raise it =]
18. I don't know about rights but if it is yours and you're taking responsibility and accepting that the baby is yours then you should have some input into your child's name. If she gives you static about it then ask her to compromise and she picks the first name you pick the middle and if you don't like her choice then you just call him/her by the middle name. Kiddo would just grow up being used to being called both names (as most kids are when the parents have different nicknames for them). My thing is if I'm carrying this person inside me for 9 months then giving birth - a pain a man will never possibly understand then I should have first choice on the name...not saying that I'll be unreasonable about it...I'd still let daddy be involved but the final say has to be mine.
