{UAH} Embarrasing to find Ganda girls being called male names of their fathers

Page 141. Prof. Kimala's book.

When the lost Baganda get children, they no longer take them to their grand parents to name the children. They all get the name of the father in the home and give it to all the children in that family and call it the family name as in the west.

It is embarrasing to find girls being called male names of their fathers. You find a girl called Susan Kato or Ruth wasswa not knowing that those are not names but titles. Each Wasswa or Kato has his own names. This is not the Kiganda arrangement of society. It is foreign.
