Heard this name from someone: Oluwajobaninuogbagethsemanemi (Yoruba name)- meaning: God reigns in my garden of Gethsemane.
NB: Gethsemane is the garden Jesus Christ had his last prayers on the night of his arrest.
I wonder what the shortened form would be!

ojima ojo ~ God's praise(?) short form ~ ojima

ojonoka ~ God owns wisdom short form is noka

ugbede ~ Praise

Unugwa ~ I have thanks short form is ugwa

eleojo ~ God's gift short form is ele

okpanachi

enyojo ~ God's blessing, the short form is enyo

These names can't be pronounced the way they are spelt though. They are just a few correct Igala names!

Hausa names:

Babangida ~ The biggest in the house

Babayaro ~ Father-son (not sure)

Baibi ~ pet name

yaya ~ used for any senior kid in some houses

I have heard some pretty cool ones:
Tekobo ~
MaiGari ~ the town's owner
Sokoto ~
Kwankwaso
Ciroma pronounded (chiroma)
ya'u
Albasa ~ Onions
Maikudi ~ wealthy man

These are some of the non-arabic names I have heard and managed to remember.

passion007: Pardon me, but Delta Igbo sounds like a 'caricature' of Igbo...I don't mean to be rude but it just sounds so funny. Chirohem. -- Chilotem
Chishelim -- Chibuliem

Diversity really is beautyful!

Yes ooh,u can say dat again.I wouldn't classify it as a caricature,but even they are being diversified. Its actually the manipulation dat really baffles me.but its beautiful.

Olanma ~ ola

The name above is a native name...nd am nigerian

Stella, sandra, jola, lizzy,

These are the names in my local language:powei,Ebi,timi,elaemi,preye,bimini,owei etc.

passion007: There are a few names I absolutely love but which would be askew for a 21st century child:
Ebinuko - 'the one who feeds fat during famine'
Ngwumsinachiabia - 'my honour comes from my God'
Uko - 'commendable pride'
Ositadinma - 'if things become better henceforth...'
Nkoli - I don't know what the name means but the girl gave my sister a tough time in school


However the names I find trendy are:

Chidumebi -- Chidum, Dumebi
Somadina
Lotenna
Zimuzo (I actually invented this name for a drama I wrote back in secondary school, so imagine my shock when I asked an 18 year old boy his name and he said -- Zimuzo. So much for my invention!)

nkoli, short 4 nkolika has to do wit doze who gossip

Munachimso (I'm with my God)
Chimgozirim (My God blessed me)
Chimmeriri (My God is the winner)

my lovely kids!
