joeargy: Same and even worst in my case. I named my daughter but my father in-law gave her a name and my mother in-law gave her another which is their tribal name. That tribal name given by my mother in-law stuck. My daughter bears my given bible name in school but we all use her maternal language name (MIL's given name) at-home. Even my own parents call her with that name which is not my tribe. |

My first name and middle name were given to me by my maternal grandmother. My mother wanted me to at least use middle name given by her, but I prefer my grandmother´s one. |

Some things are not worth fighting for in this short life of ours and name calling is one of those things. Who tell you that when your child come of age he will adopt the name you gave him? Call him what you have gave him and let members of the family call him whatever they have gave him as well. Your child will decide what he wants to be call when he comes of age. 1 Like |

joeargy:What's your problem? Nothing wrong in them calling your son the name they gave him, he's their grandson and they love him so much. Be grateful for that |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by Dchampion65: 8:21pm On May 13, 2023 |
joeargy: Calm down Nothing to worry about. I experienced such, my parents call my son separate name, my inlaw separate name which is different from what myself and my wife actually named him. My father noticed I was not pleased. He called me and explained that my boy is his first grandson hence the name calling. The boy is 28 years now and bears the name we gave him. 1 Like |

No biggie. Grandparents call their grandbabies whatever pleases them. It's a form of endearment for the aging parents towards their grandbabies As long as your son answes the names you gave him, I don't see any issues. 1 Like |

joeargy:No issue here!!! My parents call my children the name they gave them. My kid sis call them the names she gave them, and they answer the names on their certificate too. My children know all the names given to them!!! By the way, Daniel is a nice name!!! No issue with the parents calling their grandchildren the name they gave them. Don't take it personal. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by TheBillyonaire: 8:22pm On May 13, 2023 |
joeargy: Grand-parents usually give their grand-kids native names. If your son is Charles, they can give him their native language names, not Daniel. I hope your inlaws are not these types who hate their village and live in city all their lives. If so, you have a real responsibility to reprogram your wife and kids. |

joeargy: So, your son cannot even answer yes? I'm sure he knows his name is Charles, and also knows that only at his grandparents' place is he called Daniel. I'm also quite sure he loves being called a different name at his grandparents' Children love being called their alternative names for some reason, and they are smarter than you think. 1 Like |

joeargy: If you call him Charles does he answer? Try as much as possible to live at peace with all men. Soon Charles will grow up, and be the one to correct his grandparents. All the best brother |

Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by AfonjaPriest: 8:28pm On May 13, 2023 |
joeargy:My grandparents used to call me by the native name they gave me. There must be a reason the grandparents are adamant about calling your son the name. Go and verify; do a paternity test. |

Nah mature man you be (quote author=anyilalaz post=123115980]No issue here bro. That is grandparents for you. Just call him the name you gave him, update the same on his birth certificate, school etc. When we had my first child, my mother called her Amarachukwu, My mother-in-law called here Toochukwu, my land lady gave her yoruba name - Anuoluwapo, wife called her Favour, me where be her papa call am, Chizita. No issue in the house and she respond when these people call her. She identify them via phone when she is called by those name... finally na me be her PAPA.[/quote] |

Ever8090: My brother, I'm very weak. I opened this thread solely because of boredom cause I suspected it was going to annoy me, and that turned out to be the case. This OP is either immature or a colossal idiot. And e no fit better for the mod wey move this nonsense to front page! My son's name is Cedric, but his maternal grandmother prefers to call him Joseph even after naming him "Adopisa". Please, why is this supposed to be an issue? Are you people not mad like this in this new generation?! 3 Likes |

No issues here, I and my siblings have names we are known by at our maternal home. It doesn't change anything. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by Ever8090: 8:31pm On May 13, 2023 |
TheGift:rubbish talk....the child will grow up and answer 59 names but still be who he wants to be, he can be answerable to both his parents and grandparents and whomever he wish to, so what is it with the unnecessary tension raised by this kid who became a father too early |
