    Who can blame her? Her mother dies nd the silly father is to selfish to support his daughter during her mother’s funeral.
    The least he cold have one was put his ego away for a few hour nd be a supporting father.

    good for her! “clap clap”

    technically she’s always had both parents last names though traditionally children do only get the fathers name unless they legally change it at 18 to the mothers name/maiden name. as for example Patricia Ann Reagan did in 1970 to Davis her mother Nancy’s adoptive last name. Bobby maybe talented but he’s no better than a sewer rat what he did at the funeral was disrespectful

    It doesn’t matter what her last name is… her face is all Bobby Brown….

    This duality has been reflected in classical as well as modern literature as reason versus passion, or mind and the unconscious. There are moments in each of our lives when our verbal-intellect suggests one course, and our heart or intuition, another.

  • Cheryl

    Yep. She’s the female Bobby Brown, and that’s a heinous-looking thing.

    As for the name change, that’s actually disrespectful to her mother. Whitney named her that, and she didn’t want her to change her name. Way to throw dirt on your mother’s grave.

    i could care less about surname, but Kristina is much better name that Bobbi. also there’s possibility to team up with Kartrashians and live together onb parents fame…

  • Danny

    That’s good since she wants so little “do to” with him. :P But anyway, it is a little disrespectful to her mother but she can make her own decisions.

  • Chloe

    LAWD! that is the truth…unless she goes by the way of some type of plastic surgery. Her face speaks volumes and it is saying I’m BOBBY BROWN’s child! LOL!

  • Anonymous

    So sad. Time will heal this wound. Then too, we don’t really know what went on inside the family dynamic of Houston/Brown.

  • WestMadame

    Regardless if she changes her name or not, she can not change the blood that’s flowing through her veins! Yeah, every1 knows you’re Whitney Houston’s daughter but when u look in the mirror who do u see?? It’s all uncalled for and Very DISRESPECTFUL.

  • Linda

    At the time Whitney’s daughter was born she was with Bobbi Brown. No one knows what happened between Bobbi Kristina and her father for her to want to drop his name so I don’t think you should be so harsh in your judgment of her. I will say one thing – Bobbi Brown couldn’t even act respectful towards his daughter by fussing about the seating arrangements at the funeral.

  • WestMadame

    There was no reason at all for Bobbi Brown not being properly seated. Who treats someone like that at a funeral??? At a time like that people come together! It’s not like he is a stranger. It’s Shameful that even at a time like that her FAMILY couldn’t be civil. They had anger and hatred in their souls!!! (i guess it would be “easier” to put the blame on someone else right!?? Ultimately EVERY GROWN PERSON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS! Or so that’s what I thought

    We can’t judge a situation we know nothing about, we don’t know what happened between her & her father. It was probably way before Whitney died that they had a falling out, so I’m not gonna say good for her or anything. I just know that no matter what she does, he’s still her father & she can’t change that. I didn’t have parents who were addicts, but I do know that I wanted to change my last name to distance myself. I didn’t because I figured no matter what I did, he’d always be my dad. Thank God we have a good relationship today. I do hope that one day she can forgive him for whatever happened & they can be close again.
    Her name is Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown, so she’s only dropping Bobbi & Brown from her name.

    How was the funeral? I ask that because obviously you were there.Oh wait you weren’t and neither was I.I know what the media has reported and we both know that what they report is not always the gospel truth.None of us will ever know what happened with these two or what the real situation is between this child and her father.We speculate and assume.The media says it is to ditance herself from him.There have been many things said about the mother and the father so for people to assume it is because of his reputation is ridiclous.It could be that she was closer to her mother and changing her name to Houston is a dedication to her.It could be for career reasons.We really don’t know.Futher more people keep talking about the funeral he brought his kids which Whitney helped raise and thought of as hers so wouldn’t it make sense that they wanted to be there and say goodbye.I think that would have been expected but if we are to believe what the media is saying it wasn’t because there were to many people only thinking about themselves instead of what Whitney would have wanted.As for this BB and his daughter I hope they work things out outside the public eye and without interference from those who have their own issues with him.BB & WH both had problems and people can continue to say he was her downfall but truth is this was not a child that had to be lead around by the hand this was a grown woman who had problems before him and didn’t deal with them so she had those same problems after him.Partly it was peoples perceptions about how she should be and ought to be and never let her be herself.Yes she was famous and had a gift but at the end of the day she was human and couldn’t live up to the expectations that people put on her to be perfect.She was flawed,he was flawed and they lived a flawed life and no one can hang all the blame on him and it doesn’t mean he should lose his daughter.I hope they work it out and everybody else just needs to butt out.Last you say it was ego.Ego would have been staying and defying but he gave Whitney respect and didn’t cause the drama it could have turned into.He paid his respects and left and didn’t make it about what he wanted.h showed love and respect for her and his daughter.I take it you would have thrown a loud hissy fit and that would have been more appropriate in your eyes.When you have people purposely fighting against you sometimes the best thing you can do is remove yourself from the situation to make it better.

    I agree with the person who said we can’t know what went on between Bobby and Bobbi. I’m going to say from my perspective I don’t really blame her for dropping either brown or bobbi from her name. My father was abusive, and neglectful on and off towards me FOR YEARS. I personally am trying to drop everything about my father including the last name. Granted my face is his and yes part of his dna flows through me like water. That doesn’t mean much.

    Thank you!! I have been saying that people need to stop blaming Bobby Brown for Whitney’s drug habits. She had her own problems that only became public when she married him. Yes, we don’t know what really happened between this family expect what the media wants us to know. It’s always made him look bad & her the one who was a good girl. There was a lot of pressure put on her. Her cousin is Dionne Warwick, her mother was a popular gospel singer & she was expected to act a certain way.
    I do hope that Bobbi Kristina & Bobby can have a relationship without the influence from outside sources; like her mom’s family & the media.

  • Barb Sant

    They did not mention any such about Bobbi changing her name on Oprah. She and Bobby Brown get along just find. They said that there is a lot out there that is not true. Just because TMZ said it, doesn’t mean that it is true. They also said that Bobby was very welcome to the funeral and they don’t exactly know what happened with him leaving but said they heard that it had to do something with him bringing an entourage of people. They went to say that they don’t know who took the pics of Whitney in the casket, but they thought it was awful for the tabloid to publish it. They have been very busy since Whitney’s death and haven’t had a lot of time to do a lot of investigating.

  • Unseen

    Bobbi Kristina has her own talent, she won’t need to live off of anyone’s fame but her own, that is if she decided to stay in the spotlight

  • Barb Sant

    get along just “fine”

  • Cp3200

    actually her father tried to reach out to her but security wouldnt let him i think she need to love her father and leave her name the way her mother gave it to her. thats what whitney wanted her name to be so leave it that way.

  • Tina

    Wow. You sure do have a lot of FREE time dont yah? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Writing an essay about it won’t help change anything. With that said, maybe 1 paragraph would work the next time you decide to comment. smh

  • Nicety

    How does this work for you…………………if you don’t like then don’t read.If I have something to say I am going to say it.1,2,or 15 paragraphs it is my right.I am not trying to change YOUR mind that is assuming you have one.As for my time that is something else that you shouldn’t be concerned about considering you are here.Next time you decide to comment maybe you should think(I’m assuming again).
