I want to know why you would think he should automatically have Drake as his last name? Yes Patrick is his father but it doesn't mean he has to have his name. Like someone said above not in all countries and cultures give their child the father last name. Think of Shakira technically her father name would be considered in our culture as a second middle name. Yet, in her culture it's considered her first last name; but if she were to travel she would say her mom has her official last name in say the States or England. So it's not a big thing for him to have her last name. One day when I marry my fiancé we already discussed are going to either have hyphenated names or most likely my last name "officially". Not because I disregard his name but because their is a tradition and culture pride of my family I want my kids to have.
