Re: Who named ure children?
My grandfather has chosen most of the names in our family.
When my children were born, my own parents chose their names. I don't mind, they have chosen good Islamic names.
When my daughter was born, I liked the name Kiran, in fact that's what I wrote on the hospital form since we couldn't come up with anything else. But my Mom said it was better to choose an Islamic name. Then the next day an Imam gave my Dad several names from which my parents chose one and on the official registry form we finally wrote Sidra.
When I was carrying my son, my Mom and I kept puzzling what name to choose. Then close to his birth my Mom heard a voice in a dream saying Sirag Munir. And that's what we named him.
My inlaws didn't mind us naming the kids. They liked the names. So no trouble with that.
