While the wife (my anty) suggest the boy to be called: freedom ...
.
Now mothers and fathers in the house. WHO OUGHT TO NAME A CHILD ? .
Mother or father ? Abi both of them ?

husband's responsibility but he ought to carry his wife along. They can alternate between who choses the first name or the middle name depending on the one they prefer as the native name , hopefully more children will come and who knows,they may jettison the names when they come of age

As the father , I named all my kids


but I a show of respect , I gave my wife the opportunity to give hers , I called all granny's to give their names also

my kids are called by the names I gave them

Men of this generation! So weak!

How can your wife be arguing what the child's name should be when you're the head of the family?
First name should be Victor!
Second name Freedom
Then surname is the fathers surname.

This is not a case for argument, men are giving up their birth rights!

Just look at what two adults are causing brouhaha for.

the mother gets first dibs

or did the father carry the baby for 9 months?
no. so.... you've no argument.

oluwatosink:
Names plays vital role in the lives of children. So the mother should name the child because only her knew what she went through before the delivery of the child. The husband can give a second name to the child.

You don't name a child using the circumstances surrounding their birth....it's old and unnecessary now that we know better...you name a child based on the circumstances you want around them till they grow old...or as an appreciation over what God has been doing and what he will do.

Above all, a woman does not name a child unless the hubby decides to allow her do it.

Even in the bible, Isaac, Abraham, Moses, Jacob etc named their kids.

Inbetween: if you leave women, they will name your child especially boys, after their former boy friend.... Na joke o

Were you named by your mom or dad? Or you must show feminism on every issue? What's so special about carrying babies for 9months, was she herself not carried for 9 months?

Why you dey mention me nah

Blood of Zacharia

He Shock me....hope it's not what am thinking

Both of them have the freedom to call their child Victor

Instead of letting acrimony spoil their day of joy they can give him both name, it's that quite simple.

The wife is stupid. The question is who is the head of the family.

Sonnobax15:
. This shouldn't be an issue and wouldn't be an issue in my own case when that time comes.....

If my wife like,make she name all our children by herself,I don't and won't care one bit....

Na peace of mind I go reason pass for marriage,and not a trivia issue like this.... because so long peace dey,mama and papa go easily rub mind together in such a way wey go affect their children lives positively...

You be Original Mumu so because of the fear of peace of mind you'll do away with your responsibility? The man is the head of the family and as such the onus lies on him to be the one to name the child. The mother can suggest a second name for the child.

Original Mumu

In case you don't know na me talk am!

Short and simple...

Both of them have rights

It's something they should have discussed during courtship

VICTORIOUS FREEDOM.

WHO PAID THE DOWRY?

WHO HEADS THE HOME?

WHO WILL PAY THE SCHOOL FEES?

AND WHERE IS THE CHILDS ORIGIN?

FORMENTING TROUBLE WHERE THERE IS NON

na d woman manufacture d sperm bah? na why una no dey last 45mins for marriage, mtcheew.

For fuks sake, a baby can have one million names, the only names that matters is what is entered on the birth certificate and as father you get dibs on first name, mother gets dibs on middle name....Case closed, must you enter Nairaland before common sense prevails

Africa my africa.... Since child name is an issue because of lack of understanding or poor communication bw d couple let the call him Freetor shikina

In her word: " i have the right to decide the name to be giving to my son"

this isn't about feminism; just a rational suggestion for them to resolve the matter.

the mother should have the right of way, then for their next child, the father.

personally, i would prefer my future husband and i to name our kids together.

Legitimately married = father Illegitimate child = mother/mother's people/guardian.

After trying so hard to convince my wife that I am supposed to name my kids, she grudgingly left it that way simply because her mum named all of them based on circumstances of their birth which I don't like....later on, to avoid issues or frowning, I asked her to name or call them anything she likes after all it is the name mothers call their kids that they are widely known for in most cases but I made it clear that it is only what I named them that they will register with or be called in school unless she wants to be paying the fees....immediately she heard about money, she happily gave up....fear men but dread women when money is involved money.

But some men get wahala oooo... When our baby arrived, nah the whole community name am. You'll understand this if you're Yoruba. Even the name wey me and my wife give the baby self, nah my wife suggest am and I like the name. There are some issues you don't even worry about as a man if you truly want to spend some years on this planet before you join Baba God.

Bomb they d man head if he no know say naim suppose name the baby

The wife can give the baby any good native name, case closed

Lights up my kpoli in peace

They should simply name the child "Nigeria"...
