Bridget's romantic relationship with Tom ended, but the relationship between this baby and his father just started. She has no right to rob this baby of his birth name because his mom was angry at his dad at the time. That's an entirely separate issue.

I live in California and you can give your child any last name you want. So, believe me, Bridget wasn't forced to give her child her last name--she gave it to him because she wanted to. And, as previously stated by Purple Rain above, I think it is vindictive. If Bridget didn't want anything to do with Tom, she wouldn't have wanted him there period, wouldn't have included 'Thomas Edward' in the kid's name and wouldn't want a penny from him. I'm sure Tom isn't the only one who's moved on. I'm sure in a few months we'll see Bridget dating. When relationships are over, when people are single, that's what they do--they date.

Tom Brady hasn't denied the child at all. He didn't pull an Eddie Murphy on Bridget, didn't ask for a DNA test and he hasn't bad-mouthed her either. He has taken responsibility for this kid, said publicly he and his family were excited about the impending birth. So yeah, with that in mind, I think the child should have his father's last name. This guy basically dropped the new girlfriend and and an entire NFL team to fly to L.A. and be at his son's birth and I'm almost sure he's going to give Bridget financial assistance. That's more than what most loser men would do nowadays.

Don't ask a man to recognize his child, be there for the birth, be part of it's life and then when he does so, you then punish the man by deciding not to give his firstborn child his last name. That's wrong.

bridgette has the right not to give her child his father last name. she dont need too. my mother didnt give me my father's last name, he was never there for me. he only visited me when he felt like it, so screw tom he left his girl for another one, too bad.

i want to point out bridgette was a model, and way better looking that fugly gisselle.
