Is his mother a child or subhuman?
That's the reason marriages fail. Don't carry this attitude into marriage or better still know who you'll marry well.

Some men believe they have the final say which is right and true since man is the head. Remember Benjamin in Bible was given by Jacob meaning son of my old age as against Benomi son of my sorrow given by Rachel before she died.

NB: Marriage is all about understanding and compromise between matured individuals.

Your mom too? Then your mum becomes the husband why your dad remains the wife
Nonsense reasoning, a woman can carry a child for 9 months and go through labour and childbirth, but when she names the child, yeye reasoning will full ground. I know a lot of people who were named by their mothers and it's getting popular.

Hanafi? Hanbali? Shafie? Maliki?

There is no compromise if things only go the father's way. Compromise means two people get to have their shot.

Secondly, what you say is trash, only insecure men preach such nonsense, no offence. I was named by my mother. I have an aunty who named all her younger ones, she was older than them and her father was there. Compromise is not having it your way all the time. The woman sacrificed her life for 9 months and passed close to death, let her have something out of it too. It's not like the children are going to be bearing her surname.

My mom told me that two days after I was born, thieves came to rob our house. One of the thieves went to my crib and touched me and immediately I gave him a blow which made him paralysed. The news spread and people came around to see the wonder baby, most people kept saying that power must have come from God, so my family name me IKECHUKWU - meaning God's Power.

True Life Story; may Buhari fall on you if don't believe it.

Probably it's because after the first child my parents waited for so many years before having me hence the names.

Ranging from my native names to English.
Meaning of my native names and English name.

And to be Honest these names has affected me a lot.

Last time a female tried that she ended up gagged, cuffed to a post in a kneelin' position, whipped raw, hair strewn all over the place, scratch/bite marks all over her neck area, blood droplets around her crotch and there was that silhouette of myself hoverin' over her while she strained to look behind her, stifflin' tears...

Be warned.
