Also the Agikuyu system of name children isn't very good. Depending on the order of birth you are named eirher on your father's or mother's side. This can leads to favoritism or resentment by either parent. Then I don't understand why the man is not supposed to give his child his mother in law's name. Instead the child is named Gathoni or Muthoni as if her name is something to be ashamed of. I stand to be corrected.
Nowhere does the naming of children in Gikuyu have to follow a certain order. It all depends on the parents but since most of us know no other order,we are foolishly stuck with the old.Two,if it was true that all mother-in-laws are named Gathoni/Muthoni, then, three quarters of ladies from the Agikuyu would have no other name. Lemme say this not true.Isn't also true that anyone from your wife's side is a Muthoni?.May it be your brother-in-law, sister-in-law,father or even the mom in-law?. Three, there is a second meaning to the word Gathoni/Muthoni. Now you can ask. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
