bokohalal: No Nigerian group but Hausa. Only Arab names.First and last names as well. Followed closely by the Fulanis who still retain some native names like Jalo,Bello,Dikko etc.

anonymous6: First of all do you mean surname? or first name? because based on the answer you will get different answers, in general I would say Hausa's take the cake, because many use Muslim names both surname and first name because of their religion. When it comes to igbo well I have noticed many of them have alot of English first names then any other tribes but with igbo surnames mostly, followed secondly by Edo's. When it comes to yoruba I rarely met one with a English first name, a few have English surnames though but when it comes to Muslim Yoruba's it is either they have both Muslim names or either or most of the time.

f rain c: both surname and first name

odumchi: I think it's between the Ijaw and Hausa.
