Really??? @Mukiri...judging from the world as it is now dont u think its easiest for a man to lead a woman to do what u have quoted? (fornication/adultery). and what better resolute than what those women have done? we men like blaming it on women coz over time we have made them voiceless but this is a new world. @Mukiri? what is the big elephant u r hiding? how many fornications and adulteries have u had?

You want them to be called what? Your name? There are people who would not want a man's name esp if they were brought up by a woman. What's in a name anyway? And why should someone else's name bother you? What consequences are you talking about?

I will not open any of the links because its all hogwash. The man is called Joseph, Samuel etc but he prides to have his mothers name as his second name. Just to honor the mother.

Africans have had a different naming culture from the west and there is nothing wrong with it. This atttude that was introduced by the west insinuating that anything African is evil is just wrong. We are all unique and in humanity, there's no "one fits all solution" and am so glad its not that way otherwise life would be very boring.
For instant are you silent? And if you are, then where is the silence?

You must have undergone a really bad childhood if you were not a bully in sch. You fail to understand that your name can have a totally different meaning to another set of people. There is a soviet band called KINO, ofcourse you'd never buy its music.

What are u? a test-tube baby? Who was not born of a woman? How sure are u that the man u call your dad indeed is your father? Many men shoot blanks and women out of love go out to get eggs so as to cover their mans shame, so how sure are u that you aint one of them? Truth is many men are liars and deserters. Walk around in Kenya and you will come across so many men who impregnated young girls with the promise to marry them but did not. Others could not handle a woman and a child and they just walked away and vanished on realizing that she is pregnant. Does that man have any right to be called a parent? Its even worse if you are to name your child after him, the lady might just end up hating his kid. You need to respect every single parent because relationships are not guaranteed. Thank God you had a constant father figure in your life, and don't look at others like trash, children born out of infidelity. I know so many men who took up their mothers name and are a big success. Afterall, there mothers brought them up, would u rather they were named after a man they had never seen?

OOh and for your info' they may suffer from psychological harm but they are better than living with a man who is just trousers.
