officialcharlz: So i decided to share some nice names igbo people bear and their meaning. Feel free to add yours...

1. Obimnaetochukwu - My heart praises God.
This is a personal fave. also the name of a popular nigerian artiste. Though not so popular, this name's meaning signifies a great deal.

2. Chimamanda- My God can never fall/fail.
this name resounds the infallibility of God. also the name of famous nigerian writer Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie.

3. Chizutere- God sent.
a favorite among the igbo community, other versions include zicora, ziteora. it is also unisex.

4. kamsiyochukwu - literally means 'As i have asked God'.
this name is mostly given when a mother has gotten her heart desire as the name implies.

6. Ndidiamaka- Patience is a virtue.
It sure is. a female-based name which clearly states the importance of patience in having a child.

Others include-
7. Chukwuebuka- God is mighty.
8. Chibuikem- God is my strength.
9. Ifeanyichukwu- Nothing is big for God (He can do all things).
10. Chidindu- God lives.

OBIAJULU-MY HEART IS FULL OF JOY/MY IS HEART IS AT PEACE

Chinonyerem
Chikezie
Chidozie

ifyn4real: Ifeanyichukwu- Nothing is big for God (He can do all things).

I'm igbo and I find igbo names quite annoying to be honest. I prefer names from the deep south and the middle belt. Neutral & tongue friendly names like Kalada,Rotnen, Tamuno any day of the week for me.

gbaskiboy: YIMU "ukwu" na waist oo

uzoch"ukwu" toch"ukwu" etc.. No wonder my ibo brothers can die for ukwu any day

So therefore, all igbo names are beautiful I guess. Cos na all d names una don mention finish o.

constance500: All this names sounds like missiles to me

Majority of dem karin 'chi'

Obinna

ekpereamaka- prayer is Good. that's my favourite igbo name and one of my kids must bear that name
