Daughter of the late Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina apparently doesn’t want to carry a part of her father with her anymore. Bobbi Kristina Brown is reportedly planning to change her name to disassociate herself from her father, New Edition front man, Bobby Brown.

The 19-year-old was named in her father’s honor, but TMZ has learned that Bobbi Kristina is considering taking steps to change her name.

According to TMZ,

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.
