Favourite Baby Names And Their Meanings by Mongue(m): 8:58am On Apr 14, 2006 |
I'm having anothe baby later this year and after realising what a good cross section of people we have on this forum I want to find out: What are your favourite names for: BOY GIRL And if they have one what is the meaning? I'm English and married to a Nigerian. We named our first daughter Ololade. I'm not worried about sticking to English or Yoruba names so you never know if you come up with something good maybe I'll use it!! |

CONGRATS!!! I wish I could be a great help but I'm Igbo so I don't think you'd be interested in my favorite Igbo names. But how about: Girl - Imogen Winifred "Winnie" for short Folasade (or any variety of Sade) I just Love that name! Olutoni I know like 2 Yoruba girls named that. Lovely girls! Adebusola Boy - Femi Damilare Afolabi August Badewa I hope I spelled that correctly! Aunties please correct me. My creative juices are running dry but I'll be back with more! Best of luck w/ the new babe~ |

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, keep them coming, I don't know what sex the baby is yet, keeping it a surprise. One trouble I have is that it needs to be a name non-yoruba's won't have too much trouble pronouncing, For a boy I like laolu and salewa quite a lot, |
