I see some names and i wonder, Parents why name your kids that, its food for bullies

some names may mean something in some tribes and mean something totally different in some others,


I will never call my kid Penda, its a name to some but in another tribe it means a sore/wound

Some names are tongue twisters

ekwutos

ESUPOFO, meaning the devil has failed. i know a man that gave his child this name. People call him baba esu i.e father of the DEVIL, and call the boy ESU wen they want to bully him. i guess the name is really affecting him because he has some devilish tendencies just last week he broke clinton's leg(my dog)

Judas Iskariot, Morufu, Kudi, Cain, Sunday, Yakubu, Jinadu, Magdalene, solomon, Janet, Elisabeth, Oguns, Ifas, Adisa, Ashake, and other 19th century names

Judas Iscariot, Morufu, Kudi, Cain, Sunday, Yakubu, Jinadu, Magdalene, solomon, Janet, Elisabeth, Oguns, Ifas, Adisa, Ashake, and other 19th century names

No Nigerian name, that's for sure. If I had a say in the matter, my 'rents wouldn't've given me a local (Igbo/Nigerian) name, seeing as they both have English names. :-C
I like these names (they sound exotic):
Stefan
Lucian
Maximillan
André
Alexei
Yugo
Yuri
Alistair

I had a friend from Abakaliki with this name.

Cant Name my Childredn,Bola Tinubu,Ayodele Salami and Buhari.

I've said it that my children will never bear an English name. Many people just bear names without knowing what they mean.

I just asked my friend and he said that Ogbenyeanu means may a pauper not marry me. Is it true? He said that Nkemdiche is also a bad name.
