dvdon: By the way this thread requires you all to mention your real names let us be the judge not you.

My first name is Nadiyah-Jay
My middle name is Aria
My last name is igbo...
But most people just call me Jay

You guys should not be complaining at all. My Parents gave me one outdated, Bible name - MOSES. Although my native name (Uche) is not what many people know me by, I think I prefer it.

Although many people know me by MOSES, I prefer Uche.

baby_123:
I love all of them. Even though they prefer to call me a name that is not my first name on my birth certificate, because it was not common. The name stuck and is now my first name. All my names are beautiful.

otokx: As a Nigerian, there is nothing to be proud of in an English name, proudly Niger Delta, give it up to the beautiful nationalities of Ikwerre, Isoko, Itsekiri and Urhobo in no particular order.

Sounds like you're a brother of mine. cool

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by nekaa(f): 3:52pm On Nov 09, 2012

With the igbo name Nneka? yes I like it( its now Neka or Nekaa). With the yoruba name? yes I love that one buh with my English name? No... I dont like it, I hate it....its juss recently I learnt to spell it self.

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by kpozite(m): 3:55pm On Nov 09, 2012

I have 3 native names I like it that way but atimes people find it difficult pronouncing them. I ended up adopting my surname as my Frist name because it is easier to pronounce no regrets though because I hate them English names.

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by Nobody: 4:00pm On Nov 09, 2012

We're all working on the assumption that any non-native name is an English name. Which is incorrect. My first name is not a native one, but it's not English either!

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by candieangel12(f): 4:00pm On Nov 09, 2012

If I cud give myself an igbo name I wud chose Adaure, I think the name is rlly elegant

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by Nobody: 4:01pm On Nov 09, 2012

I love my name, Anwuli. Its beautiful, and has followed me all my life! Deliberately left out my English name on all my certs. Old Armenian word for 'natural'.

Exactly what I'm saying. How can your Armenian first name be an English one?

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by Jarus(m): 4:08pm On Nov 09, 2012

Happy with both my Yoruba and Islamic names.

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by Goldieluks: 4:09pm On Nov 09, 2012

I love both my native and english names.

Re: Are You Happy With Your Name? by Venchy: 4:15pm On Nov 09, 2012

I'm sure there people on this NL that spells their names in a different way and I wonder WHY?

Chinese, Srilanka, India, even an English man will not change or spell his or her name wrongly let alone changing.

Bro & Sis, be yourself, whatever will be will be.

My name is ISMAILA but I'll prefer the last alphabet A to be taken off because it's an Arab name and it's spells wrongly and it should be ISMAIL.

I LOVE THE NAME AND THE WAY IT'S BEEN SPELT IN NIGERIA BECAUSE IT REFLECT WHERE I COME FROM.

From what you've posted above, it sounds like you're also guilty of what you accuse others of.
