Popular Igbo And Yoruba Names With Funny Meanings by Oshovie(m): 1:36am On Nov 16, 2015
(Disclaimer: This doesn't in any way intend to denigrate the symbolism in the names nor to derogate the bearers)
Here are some Yoruba and Igbo names with funny meanings:

1. Babatunde (the father has returned). So what happened? The father went out, why will he not reuturn or do you want him to sleep outside.
2. Azuka (the past is greater) and Iluka (the future is greater). So which one is really greater, past or future?
3. Onyebuchi (who is God?) Why are you asking me? Don't you know?
4. Wole (enter). Enter where?
5. Abiodun (born during the festival). So what's so special about the festival?
6. Uzodinma (the road is good). Which road? Aba road or East-West road?
7. Adewale (the crown is coming home). So where did the crown go to? It went to work? And by the way, who gave the crown legs.
8. Onyemaechi (who knows tomorrow?). I don't know, who knows? Maybe you could ask Amaechi.

What other ones do you know?

cool You lack knowledge.

Babatunde refers to reincarnation of a late patriach.

Wole is short for Adewole (Royalty/Crown), Olawole (Wealth), Ogunwole (Creativity), etc.
