Whitney Houston's Daughter I Don't Want My Dad's Name

Whitney Houston's Daughter I Don't Want My Dad's Name

0309_bobbi_kristina_brown_getty1_EX
Whitney Houston
's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown can't stand her name ... because of its association with her father Bobby Brown -- and now, TMZ has learned, she wants to change it all together.

Bobbi Kristina is telling friends ... she's wanted to change her name for years -- ever since her parents split -- but Whitney wouldn't let her.

Now that Whitney's gone, we're told the 19-year-old feels untethered -- and wants to finally change her name completely ... making it simply "Kristina Houston."

We're told Bobbi has made the decision with a sober mind and is in a "better place" than she's been in a while.

It's unclear when she plans to make the change official.

Now watch majority of responders here say this isn't true, despite the fact that TMZ never releases false stories. bored

Should've done it when she turned 18... then again it's TMZ so who knows? But if she wants to do it, she has that right.

Kinda ironic but Whitney actually named her daughter Bobbi Kristina. I'm guessing she nicknamed her Krissy because it sounded close to Cissy...

Also, didn't she say she wanted to get in show business? Maybe this is really about her wanting to get in the door if she wanted to. She did talk of following in her mom's footsteps.

Diana Ross' children did the same thing.

Umm yeah TMZ is a bullshitter.

If its true, she's over 18 so she can do what she wants, but by changing her name, being that her MOTHER named her, wouldn't that be disrespecting her wishes?

disbelief all around.

I don't get how all these many rumors get made up every week about how it's insinuated that she and Bobby don't get along or don't speak. I don't know the situation and netiher does anyone else but them, but still, who was the one who got their shit together after the divorce in all of this? whistling Just sayin'.

I always thought they had a cool relationship, but after the interview last night I'm starting to think something might be going on.. Pat indicated that Bobby had called inquiring about Bobbi Kris and she said she told Bobby that she was fine and she'll be sure to get message to Bobbi Kris and I wondered why he wasn't talking to her direct..

I remember watching a few episode of the Bobby reality show

and his daughter seemed to be embarrassed by him, she seemed to cling to Whitney

I could see back then that she seemed to have a dislike for her father

Bobbi Kris is looking to ditch Daddy.

Bobbi Kristina Brown — the only child of ’80s bad boy Bobby Brown and late songstress Whitney Houston — reportedly wants to change her name as a giant “Eff U” to her estranged father. Celebrity snitches say the 19-year-old plans to drop “Bobbi” and “Brown” and adopt the moniker Kristina Houston in an effort to lose her link with Bobby.

Krissi — as Bobbi Kristina prefers to be called — is reportedly furious that her father showed up at his ex-wife’s funeral with an entourage and then left the memorial over a dispute about seating arrangements. Word is Bobbi Kristina has wanted to change her name since her parents ended their turbulent 14 year marriage in 2006: Whitney wouldn’t allow it.

Whitney Houston died on Feb. 11 at The Beverley Hills hotel after a struggle with drugs and alcohol, leaving her estate to Krissi. The other Bobby Brown will receive nada.

In recently unearthed divorce documents, Brown claimed to be living out of his car after his split from the “I Will Always Love You.”

The teen will inherit the first installment of her mother’s personal fortune on her 21st birthday. A second chunk will arrive on her 25th birthday. Krissi will receive the final payout when she turns 30.

Whitney set the little girl up. Wonderful.

I hope daughter can reconnect with her father, but I'm sure it'll take time. She'll have to get her own perspective has life goes on.

Yeah I wondered the same thing. It's almost as if she's asking to not speak to her dad right now, or as if he's being distant to give her time. I don't know shrug

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Well, I can certainly relate to that because I've always hated the fact that I have my father's middle name and last name and have always wanted to change them. But then again, I thought to myself, since we're complete opposites, whatever embarassment I cause him for having two of his names, he deserves and decided to keep them. Damn shame I didn't turn out straight so I could give him some interracial grandchildren to carry on the name he's so proud of. Honey, he'd probably pull out a pistol and shoot himself. evillol

But if she really wants to change her name, now is the best time since she's still young and doesn't have a lot of bills and things in her name that would have to be changed.

What was interesting about the way Pat said at one point that she and Bobby still talk (meaning Krissy and Bobby) and yet after the funeral said that she accepted a call from Bobby to let Krissy know that he was thinking of her. I don't trust Pat. I think she's the reason Bobby walked out...

Yes, she hasn't really made a name for herself yet. Not like the name change of Lisa Bonet or Terence Trent D. People are not going to go with that: changing ones name after u have made a name for yourself. Martika tried it. I think if anything it just ends your career.

But right now she still doesn't have anything out yet for people to buy. It is the perfect time to do it. Like Tracy Ross, her mothers name will get her further. "Houston" just sounds better than "Brown" anyway.

I actually wonder what the deal is. When she was little it always seemed like she and her father were close. And I know he's had his issues with drugs but he seems like a good dad. In most of the footage of the two of them through the years, he is hugging her, kissing her, stroking her hair, he seems really sweet. I wish everyone would leave Bobby Brown alone. He's stumbled, obviously but he seems like a good guy.

You could never know what's really going on because people think they know what Krissy thinks. They took Whitney's words on Oprah as gospel lol
