ever heard a name like Godspower, maximus, Harcourt-whyte, Bodmas, Miracle etc these manes make me well up laughter. so got a funny name to share?

how about josephat!

cornelius!

papoose!

there's this senator or house of rep guy called Polycarp White
then those guys called Monday, Sunday

_{move to culture}

I wonder why parents give their children names like pray, success, nicodemus, lazarus, etc

these are not Nigeria names!

Nigerian names have meaning behind them, so can't be funny. They mean alot to the families, describing situation at birth of such kids.

They are english names. People in Zimbabwe also have these funny english names.

I recently came across some dude with the surname "LIVINGTESTIMONY".

What's this doing in the Politics section by the way?

I think you should come to Ghana and hear a lot such names

Okay let me give you some;
I know of a young guy and a 70 year old woman called Melody, we also have name like constant,shadrack,Nature,Cindrallela,Prosper and so on. I've forgotten a lot of them and these names are veery common

This what colonization has done to us. This happens especially in places where the Europeans English had a long and abiding presence, especially in the Niger Delta or places like Kenya, Uganda and those south african countries.
Check this one out (a player from zambia): Laughter Chilembe
