It happens almost in every home. What's important is the name on his birth certificate. |

ceejay80s: As you please hommie. He's your son. It's just odd that the colonial mentality our grandparents had is finding resurgence in us. I see your moniker is Ceejay80 suggesting that you are Chijioke probably born in the 80s. I bet your parents were born in the fifties and their parents gave them foreign names. Colonial times. 70 years plus down the line we go back the route of our grandparents. Back into colonial time behavior. But I agree it's absolutely your right and your choice to name your son whatever you choose to name him 1 Like 1 Share |

No problem here, even as an adult my grandma has different name for all her kids and grandkids.. my parents has names for my kids too, I really don't see anything there. |

Are u sure u are the father? Because,if they could call ur own son another name,they probably don't recognise u as the father. |

pek:I when I said special, I mean their on Prefered names. You children of now a days, like chasing clout. Are you telling me that if you have a son and your parents preferred to call him the names you didn't give him, you will stop your parents from visiting you nor taking your child to your parents place as you guys have been advicing this dude? |

Ndipe:That's my business technique invented by Mr. Elliot which I learnt and found very useful. You can seek knowledge from anywhere that doesn't mean there's nothing useful to be learnt from you too. Mr. Elliot used his name to invent what unborn generations would remember him, his race and his name for; what are you doing to immortalise your native name? Are you happy to immortalise Daniel and Charles? |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by pek(m): 11:02am On May 14, 2023 |
Odidigboigbo:See how stupid you sound with the bolded? I asked a simple question of what makes Daniel a special name as you alluded. Instead of answering the question, you decided to ridicule yourself with the bolded. It didn't cross your fickle mind that i may be old enough to be your father! |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by Elliotwaveforec: 11:06am On May 14, 2023 |
HellVictorinho6:Learn English, Hindu, Dutch etc; your number one identity is your name. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by pek(m): 11:07am On May 14, 2023 |
Odidigboigbo:And FYI, nowhere did I advocate for such. A simple question of what makes Daniel a special name brought out the puerileness you. |

Much ado about nothing. Jeremy is the anglicised version of Jeremiah. Just like Steve and Stephen. No big deal and by the way why are you so enamored with foreign names. joeargy: |

airsaylongcome:My son's name is Munachi or munachimso and I either call him Munachi or jeremy, I was born in the 70s not 80s, the 80s sweet for mouth pass 70s, that's why i chose 80s |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by GEEBITE: 11:48am On May 14, 2023 |
I am really shocked by many comments here. My late dad called our last born son Tim(Timothy) till his demise despite that my brother in law gave him Joshua as his Hebrew name. My dad said the boy is a replica of his brother who went by that name too. My brother in law had no issues with it at all and he even called him that name too in my Dad's presence as a mark of respect. The funny thing is this OP is oblivious that Jeremy is the anglicised version of Jeremiah just like Steve and Stephen or even Jack and John. bukatyne: |

My own son, my brother calls him a different name, my mom calls him a different name, me call him a different name. Thank God in my own case, we live very far apart. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by Odidigboigbo(m): 11:56am On May 14, 2023 |
pek:what made you think you are old enough to be my father? Old man that think like a 7 years old child, you would have known what special means in this context, not interpreting its literal meaning only. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by Kaptainkoko: 11:57am On May 14, 2023 |
Had same challenge too. All I did was I make sure, I put the name I want on all her things. And I told the mother,no other names except the ones we named her should be on her books and things. That's all. They will still call their own preferred names mainly when you ain't with them. |

Elliotwaveforec: You wan kill yourself on top won another person choose to call him pikin. You worse pass the person you dey try shame. Live your life make others live their own. |

I hope the OP will not regret his action bringing up this discussion because some comments here can scatter his home. |

joeargy: Do a DNA test for the baby. Maybe they know the real father of the child. If you confirm the baby is actually yours then you should allow the grandparents call the child whatever they want. You should be happy they love him the way they do. Confirm via DNA test first though. |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by MyAmericandream(f): 2:35pm On May 14, 2023 |
joeargy: Bro no big deal like that, when he goes to visit his grand parents they can call him Daniel. When he comes back to you, call him Charles. After all Charles is in his birth certificate. The name people call me today was given to me by aunt (she named me after her favorite American actress)My dad also call me the name. No biggie |
Re: My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by NLKing01: 2:54pm On May 14, 2023 |
Why are you troubling yourself? What do you have on his birth certificate? Who enroll him in school, and what name is he called in school? How many days does he spends in their place?. I have a similar case actually but I'm not bothered. Whenever they call my daughter their given name,she will tell them that's not my name. joeargy: |
