They should be careful, this is something I believe parent do prayerfully, because names and the circumstances surrounding it can affect a child, just thinking loud.

It doesn't matter, they can name him both. Growing up, one of the names would silence the other. Normally, both parents and even ground parents gives kids their preferred names, but with time one of the two or three would silence others.

To conclude, naming a child should never be an issue in any home!
Re: Who Ought To Name A Child ? by Ekpekus(m): 5:37pm On Dec 07, 2020
The name of the child should have been agreed by both parties before delivery.
To your question, both husband and wife decides what name a child is called. And the child will later decide what he/she wants to be called when they are of age.

Well...the boy himself will eventually pick the name “Victor” over “Freedom”, in order to prevent issues whenever he has to introduce himself. Nigerian parents and the names they give undecided

And what exactly is wrong with giving him the two names? It’s like some people don’t have enough problems in their lives, so they begin to look for a problem where it doesn’t exist.

You mean the couple could not agree on a name for nine months?

If they couldn't meet at a point, they couldn't pray about it?

The circumstances of the child's birth did not give any inspiration?

They should leave the baby nameless till they can come up with a name.

How do they make general decisions in the house? undecided

Re: Who Ought To Name A Child ? by oldtimersince06: 5:45pm On Dec 07, 2020
If they cannot agree, the Father carries the day.

In my case, my husband and I had agreed on a traditional name in my tribe, prayed for the child with this name. On the day of naming, my mother-in-law told my husband, that cannot be the child's name. He should pick one of those she listed from their tribe. Na so name change oh!

Re: Who Ought To Name A Child ? by edogu(m): 5:47pm On Dec 07, 2020
It's simple! The husband should provide the English name for the child while the wife settles for the native name. Vice versa. In this difficult time, giving a child a name shouldn't be a hectic task.
