WHAT IS A GOOD IGBO FIRST NAME FOR A BOY?

Egheleghe, as a Rivers Igbo which you are, you should be able to translate this more than me. Nevertherless, I will give it a go.
Egbe dama: Owerri dialect: Egbe or gun should sail well. This is an Owerri name. They also have names such as Nkwadama or Nkwazema.
UGBO ALA: motor, car.
ALA ISI IGWE: head of a crowned king.

Andre, I don't think he meant "ugbo ala", but I can't be too sure.
Agodi --- Why do I feel that this is the shortened version? This name actually strikes a chord in me, but I'm not sure what it is. It sounds very familiar, though. The others, I won't even attempt, because I've never heard of them before.

What is the meaning of "Nwosu"?

ChinenyeN:

What is the meaning of "Nwosu"?

Nwa osu (nwosu).
Osu--authority
Nwa--Son.
Though osu means different things, but any one who is an authority in any field is an osu in that field. For example, if you are an authority in yam production, you are called Osu ji.

Okay, thank you. That meaning of "Osu" is what I was looking for. What are the other meanings that "Osu" can carry, though?

I thought osu also meant outcast?

That's different. It doesn't deal with names.

Please what's the meaning of Amobi?

Some have added French versions into their names eg Tchidi, Tchikere etc. It's a pity.

It's never to late to learn how to speak Igbo. I guess you already understand basic Igbo. I started about 5 years ago and now i'm better for it.

Pls who knows the meaning of CHINELO.

@andre uwe.i still refuse to agree with you on the spelling issue.we did not invent roman writing and therefore cannot state exact spellings as we wish unless all parties agree.why cant we correct awka to orka or oka.owerri to owere.umuaka to umuakna and countless other instances.nwaogu,nwogu or wogu are clarely thesame name with different spellings but yet correct.

Afameva,
Chinelo, I think means "God thinks"
Or "the God that thinks"
In some Igbo dialects "elo" means "to think" or "thought". Ex "Elom' na ogi" "I thought it was you"
Elochukwu - God's thought

So whaz the meaning of oweniwe, ebigide, and anine? Need answers pls
