Answer

The first answer 1

Answer

1 is the most common.
2 is also correct.
But 3 isn't correct.

Answer

Number 1 is the most common. Number 2 is also correct. Number 3 is incorrect.

Answer

1 feels the most natural to me. 2 is also correct. 3 is the only one that doesn't work in English  – you could say "I used my father's name for my son" or "I gave my father's name to my son", but you can't "put" a name on somebody.

Answer

Number one is correct 🌷
