gini: I've had a very good laugh at posts here and decided to add these names:

Obumselu : Am I d cause of the quarell? ( So a quarell led to his birth? )

Obumneke : Am I the Creator (Don't blame me for his looks, I didn't make him)

Anene : Make Ϟ•̸ε dey look (The Parents: Na wah oh, make Ϟ•̸ε dey look Ơ̴̴̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴̴͡ wetin e go come be)

Nkeonyelu: the one he gave him (hmmm, well that's the one he gave me not the one I wanted)

Ndidi: meaning Patience (this child will continue to have difficulties in life and will always have to be patient and sometimes her patience doesn't yield fruit.

Barthlomeo : My tribe (Igbo) will shorten it to Baati and that is so not funny

Cletus, Clarus (don't know d meaning but don't like their sounds)

Kosisochukwu: the way God wanted it (Parents: Hmmm, I don't really like the gender of this child but then what can I do? Na so God want am).

Most of these names are reminders of negative circumstances and will make the child feel unwanted kind off. Child thinks: I wasn't want they wanted, they're just MANAGING me.

Oh lawdy lawdy! Kai una no go kill person today o!LOL

Re: Names You Can Never Give Your Child? by Nobody: 10:40pm On Jun 07, 2012
Heard of someone who bears the name ikeminyia meaning big meat. All names ending with 'us' pisses me off e.g romanus. Also the ones that end with 'day'. Not forgeting charity, marvelous, prosper and the likes.

mr_man: 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)


@mrman, you no go kill peson abeg! grin grin grin

DaraAlina:

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" ?

[size=16pt]people name their children
Isa(jesus) they don't expect them to walk on water or raise someone from the dead.
Muhammad
Musa(moses)
Ibrahim(abraham)
Adam
Sulaiman(solomon)
Yusuf(joseph)
Hauwa(eve)

But they don't expect them to literally be like the original owners of the name. We try to like like they did, follow their footsteps but never can we be like them. So change that your ideology and name your kid one of this lovely names.

kelmich: Opukeme,
Obumneke,
Ngozi(wont name a guy that),
Goodluck,


Ngozi for a guy is wack. Almost repulsive. Parents of Imo origin are known to do that. It's a typical Imo state thing.
Re: Names You Can Never Give Your Child? by millinmax2(m): 10:28am On Jun 08, 2012
mukina2: I see some names and i wonder, Parents why name your kids that, its food for bullies angry

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

What bout all those cat?

Radikat,Kudikat,Risikat,All na kat i tire o shocked

SimonAndal: 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
