A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by RichyBlacK(m): 3:33am On Dec 14, 2007
A Bini girl wants her fiancé, an Igbo guy, to give her an Igbo name.

Can Nairalanders suggest pretty Igbo names for her?

Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by OgidiBoy(m): 3:52am On Dec 14, 2007
The only name I can think of right now is "afulafu" I bet she'll love the name.

Tell the girl that she is stupid, what's wrong with the bini name are parents gave her. What kind of stupid love is making her under mining her own tribe.

No, it's not so. She's not discarding her original name, she's keeping it. She only wants to add a new name, an Igbo name.

I like that,infact we need more of other tribes who are in love with us the IGBO'S. You can adopt "KAMSI" (KAMSIRIROCHUKWU IN FULL) Meaning How i asked God. usally named when someone got exactly what he requested from God.

Thanks, "Chinasa" is a beautiful name.

The meaning depends on how the first letter O is pronounced. Literally, it means: "white privates" or "one/single white". As a name, it's just abusive.
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by RichyBlacK(m): 8:04pm On Dec 14, 2007
I also like "Chinagorom", but it's becoming less common.
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by Dreloaded(f): 8:07pm On Dec 14, 2007
what is the insult suppose to imply?
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by RichyBlacK(m): 8:25pm On Dec 14, 2007

"White pussy"!

The "white" connotes: used to excess and scorched by friction from continual abrasion - worn out!

Sorry for being so explicit.
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by Dreloaded(f): 8:27pm On Dec 14, 2007
lol no need to apologize cos i've never heard the insult "white pussy" in my life.

So, any suggestions for names? Even if it's a Yoruba name, we can get the equivalent Igbo translation. Thanks.
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by Dreloaded(f): 8:32pm On Dec 14, 2007
stick with Chinasa! tongue

Dont give her any "Ada" name either, doesnt seem right when she doesnt have Igbo blood.
Re: A Friend Of Mine Wants An Igbo Name by RichyBlacK(m): 8:37pm On Dec 14, 2007
Oh, I think he told me she's the first born, or "Ada" of the house. So, the Ada-names may be appropriate.

But Chinasa (God answers) is a beautiful name too.
