@buhle84; I’m like, so all day from the moment he wakes up people are disrespecting him by calling him by the name his parents so lovingly bestowed upon him?!? I mean some of the names that we have are blessings from our parents, now it’s disrespectful to use them because Brenda said.

@colbykasongo_; I actually prefer to be called by my name; Calling me with nicknames like ; Baby, Love ,honey doesn’t sit well with me..

@aimow_za; Actually I don’t mind it. I mean yeah babe is great, maybe even a cool pet name or “Master”, or “Dzaddy”. But don’t call me “baba” that shit is weird

@Sabelisiwe15; What do you mean? You mean his name gives him no dignity? Haibo it’s his name what should we call him

@Iam_Khuthadzo; I prefer to be called by my surname or clan name but they call me Nana or Lala.
