“My mother went through the trouble of going to Disneyland and embroidered the name of the nursery on the mouse ear cap.”

“When my mother found out that my name was a tribute to my dad’s mistress, she was very angry”

But one day, when Kelly discovered some letters Joni had written to her husband, the situation changed. Joni was only one year old at the time.

“She was very angry, but it would be too late if there was no huge legal process…so she left,” Jonny explained.

“To say that she is dissatisfied with my name is an understatement.

“They divorced soon, and my mother told them that I was named after singer Jonny Mitchell.”

During Joni’s childhood, Kerri often wrote her daughter’s name Jani on unofficial documents.

Joni now feels that this is her mother’s “coping with a very terrible situation that will never disappear.”

“My name reminds him of his betrayal every day”

Until the age of 12, when her mother finally explained to her, Jonnie knew the meaning behind her name.

She said that at that age, she already knew her father very well and “would not be surprised by his behavior.”

“But I do feel disgusted and resentful for someone doing this to my mother,” she admitted.

“My name reminds him of betrayal in the form of her own child every day-no wonder she hates him.”

However, her father never confessed the truth about Jonny’s name-but “always insisted on my mother’s public story about the singer’s name”.

For many years, Joni’s has been considering changing her name formally, but it feels like it may be too late now—with her own four children.

“What I hope people learn from my story is that the name is like this—a name,” she explained.

“I am me, not the woman my dad cheated on my mom.”
