Mstheeeew... they don chop belle full

It’s Obvious that the woman is controlling the home and feeding her husband, because I don’t understand what will make my wife want to argue about an issue we ought to have settled before the baby was born

I HOPE I MADE SENSE

They should be careful, this is something I believe parent do prayerfully, because names and the circumstances surrounding it can affect a child, just thinking loud.

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.

Modified.

Mothers or Fathers can name their child, depending on each situations. Mother should be the one to name the child base on the connection and the bond she had with her child right from the womb . A good mother should give her child a godly/ good name but if the husband insists on naming the child then the wife should submit to her husband.

E be like say your anty wahala go plenty.

She should reason her idea with her husband and they can agree on the name or a neutral name or she should be a good wife and submit to her husband and her own name can be the second name.

cool. 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...

Their neighbors or Buhari should do the naming for them since they both can't agree on a very needless reasons to have issues. "Freedom" was your ant in captivity before that she is freeing from? "Victor" at least the man won her love by marrying her.
