I’ll never understand why women just give away the right for the baby they grew and birthed to have any of their names! It’s even worse when baby boys have their dad’s name as their middle name as well
My son has his father's name as a middle name. I chose it! And my daughters each have a variation of my names as their middle names.
I thought at the time that we just liked them and liked the connection and the way they sounded. I realise now it's the patriarchy doing its evil work.
