What's in a name.....?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.2
I thought of this famous Shakespearean quote when this topic came to mind. Jesse and I have been married almost 10 years now. And when we 1st got together, his ex. Has a son that was born in the middle of her two girls with Jesse, but he has a different father. It bothered me in the beginning and lookin back I'm sure that there was both an immature and mature reason behind it. When I had our son it bothered me a little more, my son will carry his father's name on to his children and maybe to a son who will someday do the same. And, so on and so on. Marlene however will not be-able to do that cause she will someday take one the name of another. So with that bein said that poor kid will pass on a name that isn't his for who knows how many centuries and even though that's his legal name, he has no ties to the family that carries it. I mean sure his sisters share the same last name but he doesn't come to this side of the families events. Jesse, will not be his kids grandfather. I truly believe that his mom is selfish and is completely oblivious to what she's done, and maybe she's not she is after all one diabolical woman. I'll admit that the immature side of me, is because he's not Jesse's kid. But even with that being acknowledged it doesn't debunk the fact that he'll be passin on a name that is not his. I know that it sucks that he's young and even when he's older he might not care at all. And he has that right. It had came up years ago, the name. And Jesse's ex told him that his dad's family paid to had it changed. But I think she said to test him. Cause today it hit me, the kids runnin around with that name still.

Well at the end of the day it's REALLY not my business, just my thought on the situation and like Shakespeare pointed out with a different name would he really be different??
