My bf is an Edo guy and we plan to get married soon and have kids like a flash and I ask him about anmes and we agreed to give our children an Edo name for the first name and a Christian name for the middle name and followed by the father's name. My bf came out with a few names and it kinda sounds nasty, like one of the names when he metnion it, it sounded like some kind of Goats name. . . When his mother heard it, she laugh till she cried. . . Na waa oo. . . (he is not good in choosing names though) So can u help me out in suggesting Edo names with its meaning please. . .
