I Need Edo Names by Gabry(f): 6:35am On Dec 22, 2009
Pleaseee. . . . I need Edo Names. 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. . .

And please. . . Im serious so no jokes.

Thank you smiley
