“Why will I carry a child for nine months and someone else gets to name it” – Lady insists mothers should name babies
A young Nigerian lady argues the decision of a man or other family members deciding the names of babies other than mothers who carried the child for nine months.
In a video making the rounds on social media, a lady insisted on how inappropriate it is for relatives to have a voice on a newborn baby’s name.
Addressing the father of the child’s take on naming the baby, she added that it should be in agreement with the baby’s mother.
“I feel mothers should be the ones naming the child, even if the dad will name the child, it should be in agreement with the woman,” she captioned the video.
The post has since generated a wave of reactions from social media users who mostly disagreed with the lady, particularly the male users.
