Is it fair not to be allowed to name my own child next time I give birth?

Answer 1

I don't think it is fair. Is there a cultural reason for this?

And you said 'next time you give birth'. Was there a previous child that you got name? My mother chose my name long before kids were in her horizon. She loved the name since she was 12 years old and told my father that he could choose any name he wanted for a girl as long as it was that one (lol!). So, he did. But their agreement was that my mother named me and my father named my sister.

Answer 2

Ummm, I'm sorry, but I thought us women had the "joy" of pregnancy for 9 months, then the "gift" of childbirth and have to push something ranging between 4-14 pounds out of a hole which has grown to 10 cm. Until that changes women should get a say in the child's name. Are you going to be the primary caretaker? If so you're the one who's going to have to hear it and yell it or whatever. I'd say uinless this is a cultural thing and he'll completely lose face with his family you get a say. Or unless you named the last kid and he did not get a say.

Answer 3

no , it not fair that a mother(any) not be allowed to name her own child. Its the mother who has taken pains to give the child birth.She is the one who has has the first right on child and so today all great ppl are associatated with their mothers for their greatness. eg jesus is called the son of mother marry, shivaji maharaj is called the son of jiga mata, LORD krisha is called the son of Yashodha. do u know names of these great peoples father? most of us will say "no". but no where in history it is written that their mothers gave them their names. it is always others who give child his/her name.may that be right or wrong, that happens is a fact!one should discuss with the family and then child must be given its name or if the family does not settle on a unanimous decission then mother should compromise . let the name ofthe child be kept anything , mother should call her child by the name which she like. Finally the child will be known only by the name given by the mother and not by the legal name.

Answer 4

Name the child

Answer 5

Naming your child is something the parents should do together assuming they're both around. Why aren't you allowed to name your next child? I'm always curious as to what details are not being told.

Answer 6

--Well your partner should have input and you should both come to an agreement. If it is other family members, based on their importance, consider it and then make the best decision for you. If there is a family tradition involved in the naming of babies, then give it a little more weight, but the decision is still you and your partners to make. Make it, stand by it, and don't get pushed around.

Answer 7

It depends on the culture. In some cultures, others beside the mother name the child.

Answer 8

no what sort of crazy world do you live in it's your child you pick the name. and why who else is going to name the child. un less your speaking about the child's father then he has a right to have his say as well

Answer 9

The child is yours, you should be able to bestow any name onto him/her. I suggest that you talk out the problem with the husband/ another person your fighting with. If all else fails, you gave the labor, YOU chose the name!

Answer 10

You did the work. Even if he had something to do with it in the beginning, you're the one who went through morning sickness, weight gain, doing without anything that might hurt the baby, and went through labor. I think that earns you the right to name your baby whatever you want.
