To think he named his DD after me

[LetMeSpeak]

So a few months ago I had got back contact with an ex from years back in my high school days. The man is even more of a bigger knob now than back then. He was bragging how “successful” he was, talking about his big finance job etc. Then he proceeded to call me his “first love” and told me that he would constantly check on my on social media for years and that he was “devastated” when he found out I was had gotten married. I then blocked his number and blocked him on the social media he added me on.

Now months later I get a request from him on Facebook and I accepted (like an idiot 🙄). I then see on a recent post he has a picture of his new baby daughter who has the same name as me! Spelt exact same way ( it’s a unique name in this country and way of spelling it is also unique). What in the Adam Levine is actually wrong with this man? Why would he do this and why would he not ask for my permission?

It’s not a coincidence as he told me his children were named after his friends. His daughters middle name is his sisters first name as well.

Im just in shock. His girlfriend is rather young as well poor thing. Aibu? or do I need to just calm down.

Why would he ask for your permission? As for why he did it, who knows? Maybe he lacks imagination, given he's named his kids after his friends and sister.

[ChagSameachDoreen]

Why would he need your permission? Nobody owns a name.

[Toottooot]

Did you copyright your name? Get o’er yersel.

[LikeTearsInRain]

Hard to say without telling us the name OP

Why would he need your permission to name his child after you?

You don't own your name.

Granted he may be naming his kid after you for the wrong reasons but that's for him and his partner to work through and you don't need to give it a second thought.

[caramelsauce]

He doesn’t need to ask permission for using the same name as yours but I agree it’s a bit strange.
It is also strange that after thinking he’s a knob and blocking him you’ve then accepted a friend request. There’s no reason to have any connection to him.

[Darbs76]

Bit odd but yep he doesn’t need to ask you. Maybe he liked the name or wanted to name his kids after people he felt were significant in his life. Wonder if the gf knows who their DD is named after?

[Cwcwbird]

Really weird that you think your permission should be sought. Also for all you protest about him, something is drawing you back in isn't it?

[cavi1]

I'm named after one of my dad's exes. Also an uncommon name and spelling. He suggested it, mum loved it regardless so that's my name. So what?

[MarshaMelrose]

Have you copyrighted your name or something? 🤔

[WhileMyGuitarGentlyWeeps]

😂 What the F have I just read?!

And wtf does 'what in the Adam Levine mean?'

[Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious]

why would he not ask for my permission?

Because although it's your name, it doesn't belong solely to you and anyone could use it. Why would you think he'd need to ask permission?!

[Helpyou]

It's a name. Nobody owns it!

He wanted to give his unborn baby his mistresses name. Or at least he mentioned it in instagram DMs to his mistress.

[serenghetti2011]

Have you sole rights over your name? Had you not added him again you would have never known. Not sure what the big deal is. He sounds a nob ignore unfriend and move on

[Gazelda]

He obviously liked your name, suggested it to his DP and they chose it for their daughter.

I really don't think there's any reason to suspect he's pining for you and has persuaded his DP to give the baby your name so that he always has a connection to you.

I think you should unfollow him on FB. Forget him and stop thinking about him.

[Changechangychange]

It’s weird and does imply he is still not over you, but that’s his issue (and his wife’s) not yours. Keep him blocked and think no more about it.

[PinkButtercups]

Permission to use your name? Okay Beyoncé.

[sandytooth]

Why would he do this and why would he not ask for my permission? is your name a trademark or something?

The reason I’m upset is because he told me he names his DCs after his close friends. We had a whole conversation about it because I remember some of them. The first and middle names of his other DCs are named after his closest friends. It’s not simply about him “liking the name”. If saw the name without actually knowing this I wouldn’t care at all. I just feel he has personally named it after me. Especially considering the fact the middle name is his sister’s.

( now I’ve gone into too much detail )

Yeah this. ^ And I think it's a bit odd that the OP accepted him on FB tbh.

Doesn't matter. You've moved on. Forget about him.

You've gone into too much detail? You know you didn't have to post what you did right? You could have deleted it and Xd out!
