Bolaji(my late mum's name) if i could i wil give my children spanish names,u knw y? Cz they are sexy.so?

I will buy a name book and name my kids really pretty names

I don't want any long weirdo name.

Hotie gave the best solution, also pray about it!

Name matters! I have many names, but my main one is my favorite(although it is too common)! My English one is alright, but it is so old school! My close friend, who is naija still calls me by my English name, and I told her that I prefer my Yoruba one better.

I intend to name my first girl after me. Too beautiful and uncommon a name not to be passed on.

@Missy B what name is that? I mean ur name.i wld lv 2 hear it.

No English names please!

I nor dey for 'colonio-religious' mentality abeg!

Most-def nothing with 'Olu'. . .'Chi'. . .'Osa'. . . and all that 'God this' and 'God-that' rubbish in them.

Sooooooooooooo archaic and trite!

All those LOCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL names of 'virtuous' standings DID not appear on the birth certificates either.

Such annoying names like 'Faith'. . .'Hope'. . . 'Endurance'. . . 'Courage'. . . 'Chastity'. . . .'Joy'. . .'Peace'. . .'Fortitude'. . .

Not to mention those houseboy and housegirl names of perpertual sufferings and long-suffering and endless 'maltreament' from step fathers and mothers or indentured servitude like . . . 'Boniface'. . . 'Donatooose'. . . 'Ignatoose'. . . 'Aloyshoose'. . . .

Oh! Days of the week and months of the year. . . .buuuuuuuuuuush names!


Soinday. . .

Sure I'm serious o! Cool names!! You like it right?

I always knew I'll meet someone we think alike!!!

I if have a girl 1st, I'll name her after my husband's father -- Emmanuel so Manuela or Emmanuella. I'll name my second girl or boy after my dad/or gpa(on my mom's side)- then start over with the other kids: 3rd child (named after my hubby's mom or my mom)
Same the opposite, will just have to adjust the name to fit the gender,

girl - violet, Kemi, Sade, Damilola (Dami)
boy - Femi, Lanre, Damien

Thank you ma pipo for your h-understanding.

Oh yes!
Please, nothing like:

Bonaventure. . . Misaventure. . .Paraventure.

All those 'adventure' names are not to be used.

Grandma names like "Gertrude". . . "Hazel". . ."Jemima". . . "Beaaaaaaaaaatric". . . ."Ed-ina". . . ."Doroti" 

World without end names. . ."Perpertual". . . 

Heavens forbid!

I can't stand English names. I was baptized in a Catholic church with that name called Helena. . . I have since gotten rid of it. Thanks to lost birth certificate. The useless name has gone on exile for ever. Thank you lord!

St Helen of Troy my arzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

erm. . . . . . was just very surprised

I will name my children: Oluwaseyi, Oluwadarasimi, Oluwaferanmi, Oluwadamilare, Oluwadamilola, Oluwarantimi, Oluwafemi, Oluwaseun, Oluwatosin, Oluwaponmile, Oluwagbeminija, OpeOluwa, AanuOluwa, OgoOluwa, etc, which simply means that I will not give my children any name that does not have God attached! Why? Its my personal decision which also means that you can give your child any name of your choice and taste. However, religious leaders and teachers say that what name you call your child may influence his/her life negatively or positively too. That is why the name GOODLUCK is generally applauded as the power behind our Nigerian president's achievements!
