In “Sister Wives,” Cody Brown adopted Robyn Brown’s son Dayton, who
was given a new name upon joining the Brown family. Fans have criticized Cody
and Robyn for their decision to change Dayton’s name, believing it may
have been an attempt to distance themselves from Robyn’s troubled past with her ex-husband, David Jessup. Robyn, who divorced David due to his abusive behavior, had three children with him—Dayton, Aurora, and Brianna—all of whom were adopted by Cody.
The name change from David to Dayton has led some to speculate that it was meant to hide Robyn’s previous marriage. While some viewers see the name change as a simple rebranding, others question its motives, suggesting it disregards Dayton’s personal preferences.
