Let me give you this scenario, you are the youngest of five brothers. All your brothers are married with kids of both genders. You happen to get engaged to a lady who is an only child of her parents. And they ask you for a favor if you would gladly give one of your kids their last name so that it wont be lost.

What do you do? Acquiesce to their request or stick with tradition?

for wetin reason,,abeg jor.

If her parents have siblings then their children's children will keep the name going.

Me personally... who cares. My kids have my last name

Well, it's a request. Since they have a right to name d child, I will honor d request provided it sounds good n common.

Reason why I am asking is that I heard rumors about a famous rapper with that of his wife for their daughter. Another instance is one of my co-workers who told me he would gladly give up his last name and adopt another name for his children. And when I asked him if is father wouldn't be mad at him, he simply said that he doesn't care about it. Third time was a guy I know of who told me his girlfriend suggested that since she had no brothers, she would like their children to bear her last name.

How do you know these children will even chose to keep the last name?

For me, I wouldnt!
