I actually thought about this quite a while ago, and all my names don't particularly describe me (as I see myself -- or as I would like to see myself), but they seem very representative of my life and the interaction between me and my environment[s]. So me, I'm a believer in names affecting people's lives (how they conduct themselves, how they are viewed by others, etc. etc.). I also do believe in names having a psychological impact on a person's life, and I do believe that the psychological impact can often times manifest itself in reality. |

Mine does have an impact. It means 'prominient'. And that's just what I turn out to be wherever I find myself. Sometimes prominient in a good way, sometime not in such a good way  . . .but prominient nevertheless. |

My middle name is Waleghwa, meaning that I have been disowned. I hate that name, Sometimes I go through experiences that make me have a re-think about the name my parents gave me. . .  |

teissys: Oh my dear. . . Common now. . . I dont think that could be the meaning of your middle name when you parents thought of naming you naa. . . Am sure there is another meaning to that. have you asked them? Anyways, your name sound beautiful. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- @Topic, My native name does. My native name is Yen Li (That be chinko now) and it means Free Spirited. It 100% resembles me. My first name comes from the bible and I dont think it matches me cause Im too yeye for that sef. LOL |

Thanx Gabby. The name means that. Anyways, I was named after my grandma but she wants me to change that name; maybe at one point in life, it brought her some ill-luck or something We also got some other funny, ugly names like; Kina- Meaning an abyss Majala- Meaning Dust bin Malemba- Meaning Tea Leaves Mwamburi- Meaning He-goat All these are people's names . Inconsiderate, huh? Like my mum's name (Mkakala) means that she's the wife of a Somali pirate. . . Tehehehehehehehe Never will I give my kidz such names, they're too spooky for my liking |
