What's the baby's name

So who really has the authority to name a child. Is it the mum, dad or overbearing in laws from both sides. You see, I spent nine months researching baby names, i even bought a book for meanings of names, lest a nice sounding name turned out to mean something not so nice. That's how seriously I took the name calling business. So imagine my dismay when on the day I gave birth i got a million suggestions, gentle hints and not so gentle shoves of what I should call my son. I was even told that it was customary for a grandchild to be named by grandparents, which really did not hold any water because both Khulekani (hubby) and I were named by our parents and not our grandparents. I was tempted to ask why our grandparents had not named us then, and maybe and I would have gotten off with a name like Langa, which means the sun and is my childhood fantasy name.
Anyway, eventually the names that my husband and I had chosen prevailed. You see, i chose at that moment to be as strong headed as I could be, because a name is not something you change every year. This was a name that my son would stick with for the rest of his life, so I had to make sure that it had a good meaning and would never cause him embarrassment. Maybe the only embarrassment would be that we gave him 3 names! I just couldn't resist it and so I convinced hubby that 3 was not so bad ( of course it is bad)
The whole name saga therefore got me thinking, what right does anyone have in naming a child?I would insist that only the parents have the right, and out of the goodness of their heart they might allow someone else to do the honours.
Whatever the case, I am just glad that my son is called by the name or names that I chose!
