I didn't know what it meant at first, but when translated to my dialect of Igbo it's Chi ma mgai da (God knws I won't fail), beautiful name. Am I right? [img]http://s02.flagcounter.com/count/ps2/bg=FCFCFC/txt=5E5E5E/border=CCCCCC/columns=6/maxflags=248/viewers=0/labels=1/[/img] |

Well good name, but a name is only a springboard on which life is projected therefore you need more than the spring to actualise your purpose in life otherwise every oluwagbemiga (God lifted me) will be at the peak of their endevour which is not so. So my brother appreciate the name but please respect the effort behind the name. |

@ Ezeagu, Are u Igbo at all? Chimamanda simply means "My God will never fail". |

Eeyore: Well it can be interpreted both ways. Chim amanda, Chi ma manda.  |

Chimamada means 'my God will not fail/fall' it's such a wonderful name. Two of my little nieces have been named after her. Hope that supercede the heights she has attained. |
