Bobbi Kristina Brown to Change Her Name, Sever Ties With Her Father: Good Decision?

In an effort to sever ties with her father Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is making plans to change her name.



According to Page Six, Bobbi Kristina first tried to change her names six years ago when her parents were separated, but reportedly Whitney wouldn’t let her. Now that her mom is gone, TMZ reports, “the 19-year-old feels untethered” and free to pursue the name change. Bobbi Kristina plans to lose both the ‘Bobbi’ and the ‘Brown,’ and will adopt the name Kristina Houston. It’s unclear when the change will be made official.

Bobby Brown’s relationship with the late Whitney Houston was certainly rocky and his decision to leave Houston’s funeral early due to a dispute over seating arrangements did little to clear is name in the press or reconcile him with his daughter Bobbi Kristina. Houston’s feelings about her ex-husband were made especially clear when it was revealed that her will (written while the couple was still married) left nothing to him, giving every cent to her daughter.

So SodaHeads, what do you think about Bobbi Kristina Brown’s decision to change her name to Kristina Houston and sever ties with her father? Is she making the right decision?

    This is obviously something she feels very strongly about, and frankly, I don't blame her one iota. If this is six years in the making and still going strong, of course it is right for her.

    well, i did answer yes, but only because "Kristina Huston" is waaay a better name that bobbi Brown.....
    but still she cant change her parents,and if her father makes the first step (only then), they should reconcile

    No matter what she does, she can't change her parents, none of us can. She looks just like him, nose, smile, eyes, gap between her teeth and all.

    If that's what she chooses to do, she's over 18....whatever she's does should be with a clear mind even if she had the thought 6yrs ago, but ultimately it's up to her!

    If this was on a whim, I might disagree, but if she's been wanting to get rid of her name's connection to her father for six years then more power too her.

    I think that if she wants to change her name then no one should even question her about it, especially her deadbeat no good father. He has a problem with it but what he should have a problem with is that he made her mother the way she was and he should feel ashamed of himself. He should want to live under a rock the rest of his miserable life, he doesn't deserve to have any type of relationship with anyone. If she wants to change her name she has my support I think she should have changed her name a long time ago. Her mother will love her no matter what and be proud of her from heaven:)

    I gues she needs some of her mother's legacy in there since she so resembles her father and I doubt that she has the great singing voice as her mother....Kristina Houston has a classy ring to it...:-)

    At least the gap in her teeth is easily fixed without surgery. It surprises me that a Millionairess would not take care of this. One of the top models of the 60's had a temporary filling that she took out when not modeling. She liked the gap and it does say individuality. Any way its the womans choice. It does say "I am who I am".

    You wasn't there we wasn't there his daughter was; and she saw everything, she wants no part of this azz' deal with it.
    Whitney told us all; at the end of their marriage, "He 'spit' on her!!!

    I knew her in 1984 when she first got into the business; she partied in Atlanta GA. Where I was a bouncer at that club , she was 20 or perhaps 21 at the time. She didn't have on makeup and she tried to be incognito.
    She was being a regular Patron dancing and enjoying herself on the dance floor.
    She had bodyguards in the v.i.p room and on the dance floor. That young lady did not have on makeup ; she had acne. The club was called. "Spellbound" the females spotted Whitney and started chanting her name and yelling for her to sing. We had to ease her out to leave.

    What I find interesting is how everyone immediately believes the woman. I was married for 15 years. Yet I am still the one labeled the bad guy. I asked this woman to move with me 3 times because of better options. She wouldn't. Then after we divorced she packs my kids up and runs off to be with some other man. Yet I'm the bad guy. There is always there is always two sides... I commend Bobby Brown for being the bigger better person. I can understand him walking out of the funeral. Everyone talking how great she was but not one of you endured the hell he did.

    I think people are reacting to her death ( the death of the Singer) more so; than the woman and her private life, battling her private demons. People are ticked off at Bobby; for not taking charge as a man and as her husband, and making arrangements with family on both sides; to take care of the daughter while he and Whitney go into rehab together. It's too late for that now, only thing he and his daughter can do is keep moving on in their lives. He has the right to set things straight in his autobiography about his life up to this point which includes the good.the bad and the ugly side of entertainers; married to each other and kids involved. He can set the record straight by telling his side of their story, but it has to be accurate because his daughter was there to witness a lot about her mom and dad. You are right there's two sides and the woman's side isn't always taken over the man. The only thing you can do at this point is keep moving in your life; meet and love again someone else, pray that the new Guy in your ex's life take good care of her and love and protect your kids. Leave the rest to the heavens to watch over all of you. Be the best human being that you can be but live and love because you deserve happiness also.
    Peace be with you Always'

    I agree and disagree with you barby. What people fail to realize is that a child's, memory can be manipulated. And sometime they interpret things through thier own understanding. I had to have a long talk with my daughter the other day to make her understand that she had nothing to do with with us divorcing. I even took onus for things that I didn't do for the sake of my child's mental/emotional health. I'll tell you this about my Ex... I hope she is happy, but that is all I can muster. What I did and who I was through out our marriage is hard to forget. I'm working on the whole moving on thing, but I doubt I'll ever trust a woman with my heart again. It's been 3 years of separation and 2 years of divorce and I my heart gets a little harder toward the opposite sex each passing day.

    Reality is who cares what the masses think... I repsect Bobby Brown for being the man and not lashing out to the press and public opinion, it says alot about his character. I understand what it is to love someone, but never be qualified in the eyes of the rest of the world.

    As far as my children are concerned, well that's why I'm alive.

    I understand exactly where you're coming from honey; Especially about children's way of thinking and wondering if they did something wrong to cause the other parent to leave.
    My grown child went through the same thing you did and the grandkids thought it was something they did; but now they know its not true, and now has accepted the divorce. Surely you are not saying that you hate all women are you? I knew Whitney before she met him; she was 20/21yrs. Old. She met him when she was 25 and he 20 yrs.old. I have folks in the business that knows them both very up close and personal.
    I hope you find happiness luv; everything else will work itself out because time don't stand still for anyone. Live your life right now in the present and stop letting someone from the past put a stranglehold on you and your happiness. Stop embracing torture and pain because that's not living; trust me I know. Good Luck'

    Thanx a lot. No I don't hate women at all. In fact I love the opposite sex. I just don't love the typical attitude most take against men. As if we don't have hearts, as if we don't feel. What many don't know is that we as men feel deeply, with burning passions, but women don't seem to want to know that or accept it. I have a few freinds these days and we've started a support group for men who have gone through divorce and are now alone. You want to hear an unreal standard that we've begun to find.

    About 75% of us were the men who tried everything, the counseling, changing friends, sacrificing and we all the men who lost. We are also the ones who did not want our marriages to end. Then you have that other 25% who were hard as nail about everything and guess what their ex-wives still hound them on a regular to come back, one of these guys is even sleeping with his ex... told her they were just dating. Even though he loves her, and doesn't want anyone else...but she doesn't know that.

    So I guess my statement about becoming harder toward the opposite sex was about the experiment I'm doing right now. In one breath I'm me, just a bit harder and edgier and it seems to be working well.

    Ultimately, it's her life and her choice.

    But, she's very young and has just gone through a very traumatic experience. If I were a friend or family member, I'd advise her to wait a year or so. I'd just want to make sure she was thinking clearly.

    Yeah, but 6 years ago, she would have been 13 years old. What the hell does a 13 yer old know about trying to change their name, except what bad thoughts an ex-spouse has put in their minds about their ex. She'll regret it later.

    I'm sure Bobby Brown doesn't wasn't a bad father to her enough for her to want to change her name to rid her existence of his name. That's the kind of hate that an ex puts in a child's mind.

    If she really wanted to do this, it should have been done while her mother was still living. She seems to be doing this out of spite or for publicity. All eyes are on her now.
