those sentences for a name Shocked Shocked
what a burden for a little baby to carry Grin
no baby should be given any name with more than 2 syllabuses.
Oluwa alone is 3 syllabuses abi syllabi
no wonder almost every Yoruba person I know answers 1/4 to I/2 of their names in real life. Grin
Igbos have also started this.
Rather than trendy names like Nneka,Ugonma,Chioma,Kelechi,chika,Chiso, nwando ,they've started naming sentences like

munachisoaga Shocked

chukwuatasienamobi Shocked

kanyikeneolisa Shocked

These names may have beautiful meanings but they are just tooooooooooo looooooong.

Why are Africans proudly giving their kids English names and you will hardly hear of Oyinbos returning the favor ?

my kids names are:
bearing in mind that most nigerian names have affixes, making it longer when you write it down, we decided to write the names legally without the affixes.  It makes it easier for the child to learn to write her/his name as well (except for my last child whose name is still very long without the affix.

name  w/o affix       with affix           short form           sex           literal meaning
Dasola           OyinDasola          Sola or Dasola    unisex         Honey poured into my wealth
Damisi          OluwaDamisi         Misi or Sisi           unisex        God spared my life
Demilade      OluwaDemilade      Lade or Demi     unisex        God crowned me
Motara          OmoTara                    Tara               unisex       child is enough to be my family
other names:

Foworola     Kofoworola             Kofo or Rola        girl             did not pay for wealth
Erin              OluwaPamilerin        Erin                 unisex         God made me laugh
