Unlike most Somalis, my name structure is: Personal, Father's name, Great-grandfather's name. The reason why I have my great-grandfather's name instead of my grandfather's is because my father wanted to share last names so it wouldn't be to confusing on government papers and such.
I'm thinking when I have children of my own, I would like their last names to be my father's name in order to keep up with tradition. Since I'm planning on doing this I feel like I could change my surname. I really like this idea because my father's name is an old Somali name and it would be nice as well.
