If the gentleman doesn’t want his own son to be addressed by another name I don’t see the issue. This is how overstepping boundaries gets normalised in a lot of Nigerian homes, it always starts with something seemingly trivial I’d be interested to know the wife’s feelings 4 Likes 3 Shares |

In my primary school time all my Christian friends called me Bidemi, all my Muslim friends called me Taofeek, My mom and siblings are calling me Taoheed, my grandma/pa called me Adio, my street friends are calling me Balinga. When ever someone call me and I don't remember his/her face again, I will know the place where we knew each other base on the name he/she use to call me. My own take is that, it is not serious issue 6 Likes |

Chill! When I had my son I asked my wife to give him a name ,I gave him one, my dad gave him. Even my landlady gave him a name And they all call him by the names they gave him. Life will sort itself out stop worry about trivial issues 3 Likes |

Ever8090:It is wrong no matter how you look at it. Why would your parents give you a name and your maternal grandparents would be calling you a different name that wasn't part of your names? It is disrespectful as far as I'm concerned! 3 Likes |

Bro, you worry over nothing. My two kids have different names given by my parents and also my in-laws. I named my son Blossom. My parents call him Ona-Edo,my in-laws call him Ogheneyoma. Only I and my wife decide what he bears officially. Ignore them. Your child will get used to his real names as he grows. My son will say "My name is Blossom Daniel Ossai. I also have other names ( referring to The names his grand parents call him). |

joeargy: You don't have a problem but you might end up creating one for your self. I have a son of 10 year my inlaws calls him their preferred name, my mom calls him by the name she gave to him, my dad calls him my grandpa's name, I call him by the name I gave to him and his mom calls him by my first name instead of calling him junior. Now the biggest of all is that they call him Bishop in the church and in his school they call him Professor because he uses glasses. So you can see there is really no problem. All you need do is to make sure that the name in his birth certificate, NIM, passport and all other official documents is the name you want him to be addressed with. Make I shock you! The boy can be come 18 today and change his name to what pleases him. I have a colleague like that. Pls avoid family problems as much as you can. Thank you 3 Likes |

AfonjaPriest: So, did they carry out a paternity test on you, since your grandparents also called you by a different name? Stop sowing seeds of doubt in people. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by simplesearch: 8:39pm On May 13, 2023 |
joeargy: Don't bother yourself about non essential issues of life. That name is unofficial and won't stick officially, so just rest your mind. On the other hand if the destiny of Daniel becomes that of your child, don't you know you're a lucky man? or between a godly, intellectual child with excellent spirit, and the one with fanciful name but manaseh in character and spirit, which of the two do you prefer? 1 Like |

Was the name part of the names that were given during christening If yes, then there's is no issue at all Except if it wasn't. And if it was and u are now rejecting it. It means u aren't acting right. 1 Like |

They gave me a native name, not an English one. And again, one should consider the signs of the times; things are way different, back then than now. |

maasoap:there is nothing anyone will tell you that will make you have sense at least on this matter so I will better allow you remain where you are in your new generational madness and some stupid new generational misleading religious teaching......in those days, one of the joy for parents and children is to hear grant parents call children there preferred names, some grand parents name their grams children names that suits their experiences in life and this children grow up to be more wise and reasonable than you guys who are criticising the exercise today 1 Like |
