| My Wife's Family Calling My Son Another Name by joeargy(op): 4:39pm On May 13, 2023 |
Hi everyone, I will appreciate ur advice... My son is 2yrs old , when he was born I and my wife named him Charles but my wife's mother and father can't stop calling him Daniel, when ever my son is at their place for holidays or visits, they call him Daniel and all their neighbors and friends now call my son Daniel. I remembered I told my wife about it and her mother heard and felt bad, he is my son and not theirs, I understand grandparents give their grand children names too, I have a name from my grandparents but they call me by the one my parents gave me... What do I do house? 41 Likes 3 Shares |

NA THEM KNOW THE REAL PAPA I understand grandparents and calling their grandkids their preferred name And I know every human has one or two other names their family extended family calls them just like me now my name reach 30 Just like when you tell someone to tell you about themselves during talking stage you’ll hear my name soso my grandma calls me Adaobi my grandpa calls Ogbenye Alu my friends call me Sobechi etc But you see switching from Charles to Daniel Which are just same random English names and not a native name just grandparents always give Oga that child isn’t yours 343 Likes 18 Shares |

joeargy:You people no dey fear "see finish" at all? The name change is just a prelude to what is to come. Change location and ensure the boy is called that name by your wife and he doesn't visit the in-law place often. 71 Likes 4 Shares |

I don't really see an issue in this. Grandparents always have preferred names for their grandkids and oftentimes, the names are born out of their belief in reincarnation. My grandma called me Obim until she died because she believed I was reincarnation of her late husband and she practically begged my dad to name me after the man which is why my Igbo name is Obi×××. Your inlaws mean no harm, please let it go. 129 Likes 9 Shares |

I understand how you feel. Just ensure you are the one to register hi. in school, don't delegate it to your wife or anyone. And if you are yet to obtain his birth certificate do so by yourself 14 Likes 1 Share |

Na wa for you o OP. Are his school mates going to call him Daniel? Will his birth cert be changed to Daniel? Will you then start call him Daniel? Easy fa... every close family member usually have special names for children but their official names win eventually. Someone mentioned the other day that her son refused to answer to his name in preschool because he thought his name was sweetheart as his mommy fondly calls him  . It will pass. 87 Likes 3 Shares |

No issue here bro. That is grandparents for you. That how best they express their love, joy and happiness having a grand kids. You will feel the same when you reach that stage in life. Just call him the name you gave him, update the same on his birth certificate, school etc. When we had my first child, my mother called her Amarachukwu, My mother-in-law called here Toochukwu, my land lady gave her yoruba name - Anuoluwapo, wife called her Favour, me where be her papa call am, Chizita. No issue in the house and she respond when these people call her. She identify them via phone when she is called by those name... finally na me be her PAPA. 51 Likes 2 Shares |
