Can I have a private post please. My child’s father is Egyptian and Muslim. My child carries his full name and the fathers name is on the birth certificate. Me and my child now live in the UK and have no contact with the father as we are no longer together and for various other very valid reasons (this is not the reason for the post so please do not judge me on why my child has no contact with their father…it was never what I wanted to happen) I have just had a discussion with my mother who feels I should change my child’s surname and middle names etc as she feels he may be judged and effected in the future because of all the stuff going on in the world atm and because he has a Muslim name he may feel stigmatised and find life difficult in the future. My child is not being raised as muslim because this is not my religion. However I am very much of the belief that despite my child’s father being the biggest waste of space on the planet I will never deny my child his background. I am not ashamed that my child’s father is muslim or Egyptian nor will I ever tell my child that this is not the case. I am ashamed that he turned out to be an arse hole but not cause of his nationality or religion. I feel if people judge my child because of their name nationality or fathers religion then they r not worth knowing in the first place. I aim to raise my child as someone who accepts everyone no matter what colour religion or nationality but I do understand where my mother is coming from. Am I wrong? Am I hindering my child’s future? Please do not bash my mother because I 100% get where she is coming from and she loves her grandchild more than anything however my child is who they r because of their parentage and why should I deny that because of racist and bigoted people in the world
