Or is this really cruel?

[Ninks]

Someone I know of (and was a bit significant in my past) now has three children including a DS called "J" and never sees them if he can help it. He has been known to give the DD money but not the others.

The eldest ("J") is only eleven. Idiotic bloke has two other children (no job of course) and one on the way with another woman. He wants to call the new baby by "J"'s name - boy or girl. He is adamant about this.

His son knows that he is going to name his newest child "J" as well.

AIBU to think he is a twat?

YANBU - it's not cruel but it's odd, disgusting and he sounds like a cunt.

Is that even legal?

twat doesn't even come close...

Nope, definitely a twat.
YANBU

Twat for having kids he doesn't pay for, twat for having more kids and twat for giving his new child his DSs name.

YANBU he is being a twat!

this is one word i hate but in this case i will used it...what a cunt

I'm surprised the new woman is happy to do this.

He is a bell end.

YANBU

He is a twat of the highest degree.

It is cruel to the original "J" who would, I guess, feel replaced/unimportant and goodness knows what else. Does the mother of the new "J" know?

YANBU, he is a prize twat.

Why would the mother-to-be be happy with that? Very weird.

YANBU- he sounds like a total knob

What a complete and utter fuckwit. What does the mum think of this?

What an absolute knobend. Poor "J" - what a fucker of a dad he has.

I would also be surprised if the new woman were up for this, tbh - but it doesn't sound like she has even met the first 3 DC so perhaps she doesn't give a shit or is happy to pretend they don't exist.

J's Mum is understandably upset. They tried to keep it from the child but it has got back to him. God alone knows what is going through the mind of the new GF.

What a wanker! He should tie a fecking knot in it. shudders. He sounds like a real catch-NOT!

It's legal phipps, for a few months I had (legally speaking) two sons with the same first name when the parents of my first surrogate child chose to call him the same name as my son.

This guy sounds like a prize idiot and the mother of the new baby can't be much better though.

What a cock end. How can he think it's okay to have two kids with the same name? Grossly insensitive.

Does the girl friend know about the other J?

What a bastard. That had the potential to screw the real older J up.

I don't know what you can do though?

Does the GF know about the older J?

Utter cockmuncher.

I wonder if I could get a copy of this thread to him....

Copy & paste the link into an email....
