A new mother has shared how her ex boyfriend demanded her son be named after him even though he has no interest in raising him.

The woman explained that she and her child’s father had reached a formal custody agreement and she has sole custody.

“I gave birth to my son Jacob 6 days ago, who is a bundle of sunshine and joy and everything wonderful in the world. My baby’s daddy, Chris, has not been in the picture of anything since I found out he cheated on me when I was four months pregnant with not one, not two, but eight other girls.,” she shared on Reddit.

“We were going to do the co-habit parenting style and the whole nine yards until I found out about his infidelity. So I don’t know where’s he’s been staying and nor do I care,” the mother continued.

“He already signed over his rights legally but will still pay monthly child support. We also opted to discuss visitations on our own with a chaperone, and he has obviously agreed to them.

“He has not taken interest in our child at all.

“He has also claimed I cheated on him and the child isn’t his, and completely cut contact with me a month ago.”

The woman went on: “I had my mum and sister in the delivery room with me and we decided names after he was born because I chose to have the gender a surprise. We named him Jacob in honour of my grandfather, the middle name after my mum’s brother, and my last name since I never married the dude.”

She also explained that her ex is a ‘junior’ and has the same name as his dad, so he was hoping to give his son the same name even though he doesn’t want to be involve in his child’s life.

“I made a Facebook post about Jacob’s arrival and then a few hours later I get nonstop messages and calls from Chris calling me all kinds of names for not including him in the name decision making.

“He told me he wanted him named after himself (he’s a junior) and he wanted my son to be the 3rd along with the middle name after his uncle.

“He was also livid that I gave Jacob my last name instead of his. He said his ‘lineage’ was dying as he’s the only son.”

People on Reddit were on her side, with one person commenting: “Screw feeling guilty, he made his bed. All you need to feel right now is love for your new baby.”

Another wrote: “He didn’t earn the right to be a part of the naming, and why would he even want a baby he didn’t believe to be his to have his name?”
