Yamiriflathead:
The woman should translate freedom to her native dialect so that they can call him Victor..... Native dialect name... Surname.

wisdom

It doesn't matter, they can name him both. Growing up, one of the names would silence the other. Normally, both parents and even ground parents gives kids their preferred names, but with time one of the two or three would silence others.

To conclude, naming a child should never be an issue in any home!

The name of the child should have been agreed by both parties before delivery.
To your question, both husband and wife decides what name a child is called. And the child will later decide what he/she wants to be called when they are of age.

Nairaland is their rubbish, and how is this supposed to be a news ..

Op, name the baby Victor Freedom or Victor Freeman.

Common sense not common again

Why not call the child VicFree or TorDom?

Well...the boy himself will eventually pick the name “Victor” over “Freedom”, in order to prevent issues whenever he has to introduce himself. Nigerian parents and the names they give

And what exactly is wrong with giving him the two names? It’s like some people don’t have enough problems in their lives, so they begin to look for a problem where it doesn’t exist.

Thank u sir...
I will ask them to look into this

Were they in bondange/prison? Which one be freedom and Victor? Oya make them name an "Breakout"
Nothing Person no go see for Nairaland.

You mean the couple could not agree on a name for nine months?

If they couldn't meet at a point, they couldn't pray about it?

The circumstances of the child's birth did not give any inspiration?

They should leave the baby nameless till they can come up with a name.

How do they make general decisions in the house?

Nuyokoi:
first name: mother
middle name: father

second child:
first name: father
middle name: mother

Shey na virgin Mary abi? Na she born by herself

Lol, freedom ke

The 2 can come together and agree with one name that the boy will answer in school then the mother can call any name of her choice at home

Nuyokoi:
first name: mother middle name: father
second child: first name: father middle name: mother

na why una dey divorce everytime. Smh!

Juliusmomoh:

My anty is just messing things up...
.
She want to be the all in all in everthing..

That the problem this just a simple problem what will happen when they have big issues to who make a decision.

See the yeye names...

If they cannot agree, the Father carries the day.

In my case, my husband and I had agreed on a traditional name in my tribe, prayed for the child with this name. On the day of naming, my mother-in-law told my husband, that cannot be the child's name. He should pick one of those she listed from their tribe. Na so name change oh!

e b like to divorce dey hungry ur aunty.

Name him oghenemaro

IFSHR:
Wahala

But since both of them no wan do like husband and wife...shebi na freedom and Victor...to settle the matter make them name the innocent child VICDOM, but make them ready better explanation wey dem go give the boy when he grow up

Why you dey mention me nah

It's simple! The husband should provide the English name for the child while the wife settles for the native name. Vice versa. In this difficult time, giving a child a name shouldn't be a hectic task.
