Ok,i guess i admit you're right but this are the names we hausa people use.most traditional names in hausa are affiliated or from a particular ethnic group but here are some hausa traditional names i know;
Idi
Garba
Faruk
Babangida
For the females,we have;
Umaima
Maijidda

are you sure Faruk is a hausa name? I know it is a name found in many islamic countries from turkey to bangladesh to the middle east.

For an Ibibio man I think that Ubong (for males) and Enobong (for females) are two of the most popular names. But then it may be disputable.

What about your tribe?

Ubong means honor

Enobong means gift
Edidiong, Ima-obong, Emem, Ubong, Eno-obong seems to be the most popular name in Akwa Ibom in recent time Aside from Ekaette, Akpan, Etim, Effiong and Okon which are the ancient names no longer bared by recent generation.
