Wide wide world. I am a Nigerian and hail from where the Oil is flowing. In our side of the country, you could bear any name as long as you know the meaning. This is irrespective of tribe.
In that vein, I recommend the following names for you.

Names                                                  Short form                                         Meaning

Oghenekevwe                                        Kevwe                                            God's Gift 

Oghenemine                                       Mine or Mimi                                       I look Up To God

Eseoghene                                              Ese                                                God's Blessing

Ejiroghene                                              Ejiro                                               God is worthy of Praise

Oghene-Ochuko                                    Ochuko                                             God is our Helper

etc, etc.

Please, I would want you to choose from this pool while wishing you a safe birth.

NB: ALL THE GIVEN NAMES ARE UNISEX

Let me give it a shot
MoyosOluwa or MoyosoreOluwa-  (short form) Moyo
Moyinoluwa-     "      Moyin
these two are unisex and also very good for twins.
Oluwaseyitowi- (short form)- Towi (not with rass accent o)
Oluwaseyitoju-   "                  Toju
also unisex names and good for twins, don't mind me I'm obssessed with twins.
Aderonke (my name) Ronke for short. especially if u've been waiting for this baby for ages get my drift? You could also personalize it to Morounke. (I have seen something (a child) to care for). This is better for girls.
Aderinsola (Derin) for short is also a very good girlie name.
Now for a boy lets try Oluwatomisin (Tosin) for short. You could also shorten it to (Tomi)
TemilOluwa( Temi) also a very great name for a boy.
thats about it for now maybe later i'll come up with sumffin else. Hope i've been of help
