1. "OGHOGHO", especially if you live in the USA. The little girl that carries this name will be called "HO" grin grin grin all through her school days and maybe beyond.
2. "DEJEUNER", as given by some ghetto mothers who know next to nothing. The name is French for "BREAKFAST". A girl that answers this name will always be propositioned by her male peers who may know the meaning. "Dejeuner, can I have you for breakfast" grin grin
3. "SALAMI", a name for a variety of sausage. grin grin
4. "OWOLABI", who ever gave birth to money?
5. "TOKUNBO", arrogant, stupid, and outdated. undecided
6. "AJIBABI", who wants to wake up to misfortune? But, of course that is not the meaning of the name. Its just that it could be interpreted so. That is the result of the richness of the Yoruba language.

DaraAlina: Growing up here in the states... I suggest your child name shouldn't embrace any of these things :

Colors ( Blue, Ivy, Magenta) I don't care if Beyonce and Jay-Z did it

Food (Kobe, Muffin, Apple) So what the basketball billionaire and Gwenth Paltrow have the nerve ?

Liquor ( Alize, Chardonnay ) The child's name shouldn't sound like a stripper's name ...

Cars ( Mercedes, Lexus)... It gives people a sense that you didn't have no social awarness

Animals ( Puma, Jaguar, Tiger, Deer) ... That's abuse okay !!!

Numbers ( Seven, Six ) I actually came across names like this too.. you're not Erykah Badu

A Actual Name of a City ( Brooklyn, Paris, Asia, China, America ).. Sad but funny I have a cousin name Nigeria.. I might let that slide ... wink wink wink

Clothing Brands ( Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuittion) Should I even elaborate ? !!!

Emotional Feelings ( Innocent, Happy, Delightful, Delicious) I would personally slap the parent silly !!!

Adjective, Verb or Adverb that can be used for mockery ( Smart, Knowledge or Serenity etc...) What happens if the child does the opposite

MOST OF ALL DON'T NAME YOUR CHILD -------> JESUS !!!!... It's too much to live up too... I love Jesus but there is only one and let him be it !!! Yes Indeed !!!

[quote author=dani1luv][size=13pt][color=#000099]offering when my sister was in secondary school then,she was so desperate of an english name because our parents didn't give her any, all her names were igbo names. So she decided to translate one of her igbo names to english to have an english name. One of her name is Onyinye,she translated it to Offering,and was answering that. With time no be person tell her to retrace from her path.

Re: Names You Can Never Give Your Child? by Nobody: 2:20pm On Jun 07, 2012
One reason I dislike English names is because even the bearers can't pronounce the words properly. Take the name Patience, for example, which should be pronounced 'Patience but is pronounced Pa'tience by the bearer no less. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. How can someone not pronounce their own name properly? Best we stick to what we know and are conversant with, IMPO.

afam4eva: I've said it that my children will never bear an English name. Many people just bear names without knowing what they mean.

I agree so much !!!

My first and middle name is Dara Alina... I am not Nigerian nor technically African.. ( Black, Trinidadian and Venezuelan) .. My mother didn't want me to have a ghetto akata name nor a stoosh european name.. She decided what I should embodied ( Beautiful Gift) ... She translated my name in Swahilli it means " the beautiful one" and Alina means Gift... So she remixed it.. But I love the Yoruba meaning

Oluwadarasimi = God is good !!!!

I hate when people call me Dora.. I am not a Mexican cartoon

My Mom did well afterall !!!

That's another name that people shouldn't be burden too.. It's too much to live up too... What happens if "Mary" isn't so like "Mary" ?
