AITA for saying that it's fu*cking weird that my ex's wife newborn has my last name?

Source : Reddit

" i was married to my Ex for 7 years until we divorced and went our separate ways 4 years ago. After the divorce she kept my surname. I didn't necessarily like it because it felt like she was still attaching herself to my family but I could understand the practical reasons enough not to let it bother me. She recently gave birth to a baby and posted a picture of the said child and revealed its name. A friend sent it to me commenting about the surname and asking if it was mine. Following that four more people directly contacted me either congratulating me or asking for confirmation whether it's my child or not and my mother says she's been catching up whispers about it too at church. I bumped into her and her sister in town and obviously congratulated her then asked the kids name. She said the name. I asked about the surname and she confirmed that the child's legal surname is 'obviously' xyz [mine] and asked if there was a problem. Now that pissed me off. My surname is very unique especially in the town since My family is not originally from here so when people hear the surname they naturally think of my family and assume that this is my kid and it fucking isn't. Worse the father is apparently in the picture so I don't know what the fuck is going on there

( wait, how is the father okay with it? Like u don't want YOUR child to have your surname? Want ur baby to have another man's surname? What the fuck)

I straight up said that it's fucking weird that she's giving her newborn the surname of the man she's divorced from who isn't in any way linked to the kid and sounds almost obsessive. She said she gave her daughter her surname as the mother and not mine so Am I The Asshole?

( as the 'mother' ? It's not even your real surname what...... Ok this really pissed me off like I wanna slap the living shit out of her, that mf two faced bitch)

Edite : i have no children with her. She has one other child apart from this one who has her previous name.

Also her surname doesn't impact her professionally. I do not know why the fathers name wasn't used....
