Can anyone come up with a slightly different spelling for the name "Diekola-Oluwa" meaning the blessings of the lord are abundant.

I prefer more traditional names for children and really do like this one but don't like the Die in front of it. I know it's not the English word but if I name my child that, he/she might be bullied at school for the name as we are living in the UK. Thanks.

@ Efunlola
I'd think Efunlola means Efun is my wealth or something similar. Efun is a Yoruba deity. Efun is a CHALKY substance. Mineral soil if you want. However, the name Efunlola is certainly related to the household of the Obatala Deity. But your interpretation is correct. Efunlola = Efun is WEALTH
Ogunseye might mean Ogun has given a reason to celebrate. Ogun too is a Yoruba deity.
Literal translations of course.

Efunlola:

@Ilelobola,

Thanks for the translation, Wow, I did not know that there was an Orisa "Efun" in Yoruba culture, Could you be referring to Orisa Obatala? Thanks in advance.
