It is normal to have more than 2 names for the child and those who give the name will prefer the one they give... There some name they call my children that I have even forgotten that it part of the name given to them... Take away your inferiority complex and ensure that all his documents carry prefer names you want for your child. |

joeargy: Relatives always do this. They were at the naming when the child was given multiple names and they usually choose to use the name they picked when they interact with the child. No big deal. As kids we understood when we went to some aunties or uncles places they would call us by one obscure name we barely remembered. 2 Likes |

emaopel: Since they're living close to his inlaws, he need to change environment. Frequently seeing and spending time will cause lack of respect and this might break his home. And if he starts staying in his house, problem also. |

spiceadole:Thanks bro. I don't know what Nigerians thinks. I onced attended a graduation ceremony of some nursery school kids, as they were being called to come on stage to get their certificates, men I thought I was in England, you have to hear the fanciful foreign names these children bears, we have even gone as far as bearing Spanish name! The white man I think meant it when they tag us black monkeys. Africans have proven that to be true. 4 Likes |

joeargy:its no problem at all as far as I'm concerned. They have the right to call him Daniel too. I sense you are concerned because your boy is always around them. Pay attention to this information and let him stay in your own house often so your neighbours will call him by the name you gave him. Your wife is the one to handle her family so allow her, NEVER INTERFER because it won't end well. |

Na wa I don't understand the problem with guys marrying these days they must wail about every thing ahan. Wail, whine, cry shout about every damn thing. Kilode Gan. I know someone that was at my daughters naming ceremony not even related to me at all that calls her by one of the many names we gave her, she's the only one who calls her by that name and she calls me mama (the name). If someone calls me by one particular name in crowd I am 90percent sure it's my mums village people. My father inlaw calls my daughter by the name he gave her, the name no kuku dey birth cert. As long as the names have good meanings no problem. I honestly can't fathom what warranted this wailing. 7 Likes |

I don't think it is a big deal. A child means so many things to different people. What it means to you is not what it means to your wife,her parents,your family etc. My own case for example,I named my son a certain name but my wife and her parents called him tamilore. I was mad at her and it made me changed towards her.to me then,I felt she was not loyal to me at all and she was still connected to her mother.yes her mother! So after some time I let go. Later I got to understand that my wife's mother is emotional and spiritual about my son.she never had a son and her first child gave birth to five girls.we are the one that gave her a son and still the only one for now,so she saw the boy as her own. Infact,it got so hot then that I told my wife not to take the boy to her mother and that we should give him to a nanny,she said ok but I found out she was dropping me boy at her mother's. I sought the advice of women in my office and they laughed at me say I dey fight a woman over a child.they said I should let her be and face my life.i left her and the whole thing died down,infact the in-law took care of the boy like say na god dash her.the boy dey fresh like americana.na so I just leave all of them and everything just fall in place. So leave them and do your thing hare. Make money,enjoy your self,care for your children and let sleeping dog lie jare. 2 Likes |

joeargy:You know what I think? I think you are just a frustrated dude who doesn't know where to channel his anger then decided to pick on his in laws. Like what is even your problem in all of this? I don't blame you, I blame the little change in your pocket that has made you to forget your pressing issues😂. What if it is your own mother that has been calling him names different from yours? An example, my mother has never called any of my kids the name I give them, she always call them by the name she gives at birth and my children are used to those names and recognize individuals with the name mentioned. Find another problem cause this isn't one 6 Likes |
