“”My dad does not have a male grandchild at this point, so to be able to call my pop and tell him I’m carrying on the name was a nice thing to be able to do.”"

*gag*…I mean it’s 2008. Even if they have a daughter, she can keep the ‘family name’ if she so chose. Times are a’ changin’, Scott.

They seem very much in love. Congrats to them

can’t wait to find out the details once the little guy is born.

My grandparents its the opposite. My mom’s brother, has all boys, and my mom had my brother and me. So i’m the only granddaughter on my mom’s side of the family.

Is he 14? What a stupid comment. Mostly the hope that they stick around afterwards. Maybe setting the bar of hope isn’t such a good idea to do to his wife. You never know what’s going to happen after pregnancy.

Congratulations full of my heart!!!!!!!!!!! I remeber her from RW new orleans and scott was on everwood.
with them luck
xo

Congrats to Scott and his wife. Babies are blessings!!

Of course, a son only carries on the family name if he is able to, or chooses to, have children.

My in-laws were so devastated that we had daughters, instead of sons, they wouldn’t even come to the hospital to see them when they were born, and are still moaning about how the girls won’t carry on their family name … which is kind of strange considering out of all the sons they had to “carry on the family name”, only one of them has been able to have any children, and he’s a very contented, proud dad of daughters!

I think nowadays the name being carried on isn’t just for sons anymore because your daughter can also decide to carry on the name to her child and a son can decide that his child will take the mother’s last name! So nothing is a sure thing.

I cannot believe Scott is 40! I never watched Party of Five so I never knew how baby-faced he is! I did watch Kelley on The Real World, though, and she was adorable. They’re a beauiful couple and seem like they’d be super fun. Congrats!

Me, thats what happened with my family. If my Dad hadn’t had a son, the name would’ve stopped there because I’m pretty sure I’ll be changing my name when I get married. Thankfully, he had 3 sons to carry it haha

“upper deck”,I like that. I think a girl can carry on the family name too. My son has my last name (unfortunetally he also has my ex’s last name too…for now). it definately is good to hear a man talk positively about his pregnant wife instead of guys always complaining about mood swings and weird cravings
