‘My daughter’s father is using her name for his second child

A mum is furious after discovering her daughter’s dad has given his second child the same name as their daughter – as she branded him ‘spineless’ and called his partner ‘creepy’

Choosing a baby name isn’t always easy, and it can be even harder when you’re welcoming your second or third child, as you may have already used some of your favourite names on your older children. But one dad has decided not to let that stop him, as he’s given his newborn daughter exactly the same name as his first child – much to the anger of the girl’s mum.

The mum explained she had her 10-year-old daughter after a “drunken hook-up” with one of her friends, and while the pair have never been a couple, they decided to co-parent and have been making it work since their little girl was born. However, the man’s girlfriend recently welcomed a baby of her own, and the drama over the new arrival’s name has caused a rift between the man and his daughter’s mum.

In a post on Reddit, the mum – who did not reveal what her daughter’s name is for privacy reasons – fumed: “I ended up falling pregnant with my 10-year-old daughter during a drunken hook-up with a friend in my mid-20s. Not the most glamourous or flattering truth but it’s the truth all the same. When we found out we decided to keep the child and co-parent while remaining friends.

“Four years ago he began to date his long-term girlfriend and they moved in together last year. She fell pregnant and I’ve been supportive to them both as much as I could be without crossing any lines; I’ve encouraged my daughter to help out whenever she’s staying with them during the pregnancy and to behave, I’ve also made it clear that I want the children to have a close relationship despite having different mothers.
