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

demmymoney:
Both of them have rights

It's something they should have discussed during courtship

Nuyokoi:


this isn't about feminism; just a rational suggesting 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.

"to her son" shey d man no pour sperm for her toto ni? or na she manufacture sperm from "God knows where"

To God, she ain't ready for marriage.

Guys, never marry any lady that doesn't recognize you as her head and friend. Even the world of God which is in line with Africa culture on this issue said and I quote: As Christ is the head of Church so the husband the head of his wife.

She want to be the all in all in everthing..

Nwogeh:
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.

I had a similar issue in my home, when my uncle's wife gave their daughter name, the network was becoming popular within the 4 days of given birth to the child. What my uncle did was to go to get a birth certificate, he puts the name he wants his daughter to bear and handed it over to the wife. No fight, no gragra. The woman was in pains for days as my uncle's pays attention to his daily activities

DMerciful:
Why cant she allow the man give the child the first name and she give the child the middle name? Why is she trying to undermine her husband? Is it not the same man she knelt down to give palm wine or whatever tradition she practices during introduction?

vicdom:

Lol....no think am bros

Nuyokoi:

why should she allow the man to give the child the first name and she give the child the middle name after all her suffering?

it's petty for a man to argue with his wife over the naming of their child.
if they can't come to an agreement, he should simply birth his own baby but unfortunately me do not have wombs

Juliusmomoh:

Ur uncle na confirm man oo

You talk like a child. If women can birth their own child why do they take marriage as their most important achievement? Why do they need men to sleep with them? If you carry this mentality to marriage you gonna regret it. You think carrying pregnancy automatically makes you the head of the family? Feminism will destroy you if you're not careful!

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

Ekpekus:
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.
