A TEENAGE girl has been left fuming after finding out her estranged dad is giving her name to his new daughter.
The 18-year-old girl who is believed to be from the US, revealed her dad planned to use her moniker for his new daughter's name.
Taking to Reddit, Roseanne revealed that she has her father's surname, meaning that she and the baby would have the exact same name.
The young girl revealed she had only been a part of her dad's life since last year and now lives with him.
Her dad and mum had separated and she revealed the pair never wanted children to start with.
Since then, her dad has remarried and is excited to welcome his second daughter into the world – a stark difference to when his first was born.

The young woman claimed her step mum called her 'selfish', while her dad apparently thought that she should be more mature and to not 'gatekeep a name'.
In a second post, Roseanne said that she felt her father was trying to replace her by giving his newborn her exact name.
She continued: "I do feel like he is trying to replace me, her birthday will also be close to mine but I also feel like maybe I'm being too sensitive over the situation.
"Hopefully I'll move in with my girlfriend soon so I won't have to live with him."
People quickly commented on the post sharing their thoughts.
One person wrote: "It would be unfair to both you and the baby to have the same exact name."
Another commented: "They are going out of their way to symbolically displace you, which is disrespectful and cruel."
"Is this for real? If they do this your relationship should be over. It’s extremely disrespectful," penned a third.
