Igbo names have been used as music titles to praise Igbo girls, lol.
Felix Liberty, Flavour,Solid star, Psquare etc have used a female igbo name at one point or the other.
According to popular opinion,igbo people have the best romantic/sweet names.

It means *avoid friends. I had a classmate with that name and i always felt that his parents went through a horrible experience with a close friend.
The guy was quite reclusive in class sef.

Oh, so it's Zere enyi. I thought it was a contraction of Zere unyi (dirt). The meaning is heavy. Don't think I would name my child that

Pardon me @ Ihuoma.

I believe Oyooyo = Dear/Dearest

When a woman travels or comes back from work, her children usually run out shouting Mommy oyooyo = Mommy dearest

Oooooh I remember now
Didn't know the meaning but I heard it sang in that 'Welcome to Enugu' song by Flavour and Stormrex cheesy

So cute. Do people actually use it as a name?

I've only heard people use it as a term of endearment. A man calling his wife Oyoyo'm and vice versa. But I would think nothing stopping a person from answering it as a name. Not when we have the likes of Jennifer LOVE Hewitt

I like that adding that 'm' to the end of words makes it possessive. Mine. Very nice.

Nke'm means My own/mine

Nke Yi/Gi means Your own

Nke fa/ha/wo means their own

The name Nkemjika = My own that I am holding (I.e the child)is greater.
Ji= hold. Jide= to hold. Ka=bigger or greater

Abeg, dede Ngwa, park well, which one be Alaoma? I know you're a proud Ngwa man cos I've followed Igbo threads here on Nairaland. My mum is from Ngwa too but I must admit, I dont like Ngwa names one bit. Alaoma no sweet kobo for my ears o! Ngwa names such as Mgbechi, Nwanganga, nwamgburuka,Diogo, Kasarachi etc, these names funny die o
Nye kena o hie l'olee? Abeg, Alaoma too sweet. As for the other names, okay. We're here talking about names will possible sex appeal and I didn't list any of those for a reason. So what is your aim with the rest of that post? Make you park well naa.

Chinachriss:

I have to listen to them a couple of times before I can fully grasp what they are saying. Have you heard of them? One of the group members is now a solo act. Her stage name is Stormrex.
