Name suppression has lapsed for the man accused of killing Christchurch baby Ihaka Paora Braxton Stokes.

Troy Kevin Taylor, 22, can be named for the first time after a long fight to hide his name since being arrested on July 15.

Taylor, who is on bail, was the partner of Ihaka's mother Mikala Stokes. The trio lived together at a house in Truman Rd, Bryndwr.

Dunedin-born Taylor has pleaded not guilty to charges of assaulting Ihaka on July 2 and murdering him on July 3 at their home.

Taylor's lawyer Phil Shamy confirmed he withdrew an application for name suppression on Tuesday.

It ends a lengthy courtroom battle that reached the Court of Appeal to prevent publication of Taylor's name.

Taylor's name was suppressed for five days at his first appearance on July 16 to allow time to inform relatives and explore medical issues relating to a family member. It was extended after further suppression applications.

On August 19, the High Court refused suppression to continue. Shamy had until September 15 to appeal that decision, which he was instructed to do.

The Court of Appeal declined suppression on September 25, stating it would lapse on October 9. Fresh suppression bids were launched and on November 4 the High Court delayed its judgment.

On Wednesday, Shamy confirmed he had withdrawn a name suppression application, allowing publication of Taylor's name.

Shamy said all details related to the argument around Taylor's name suppression were suppressed.

Taylor has been granted bail to live outside Christchurch. He will be subject to a 24-hour curfew at the property.
