I am surprised on this irrelevant debate on #BBZ name. Islamic tradition is to name after mother South Asian tradition is to name after father,every child born is half of his father and half of mother. This is purely a choice of family and person how he wants to be known. After marriage BB did not change her last name and preferred Bhutto. Reason is simple political significance of Bhuttoism. In politics symbolism has its own importance BBZ is representing Bhuttoism most of those objecting on his use of mothers name also oppose Bhuttoism. Moreover,Bhutto is a tribe and there are thousands of Bhuttos in Sind merely by name one cannot be regarded as political heir. Fact is Bhutto legacy is transferred to BBZ and he is political heir of Bhutto. So BBZ move to use Bhutto as part of name is traditionally and politically correct, those oppose will not be happy in any case so who cares.
