Naming Children; Your View And Experience. by thedarkened: 11:11am On Mar 13 |
where I come from, the norm is to give the surname the father bears to the child! oftentimes this name is passed down generations, this often pave ways to the children who are identified the moment the name is mentioned; as people could easily trace such a name back to the family. However, I am at a T-junction. Where my wife come from, she believes it is the father's name that should be given to the child; that is, rather than giving my surname to my child, it is my own name that our child should bear since I am the father, and for my own name not to be forgotten! I really love my wife's idea, however, as unpopular as I am, when travelled out of my state and resided in two states here in Nigeria at a time, my family name paved way for me as people who heard my surname traced me back to my father, and i enjoyed some privileges. Please Nairalnders, what would you do in my shoe? how did you do yours, and why? |
