I would presume your "school mother" is also a friend. Yet here you are, insulting her on a discussion board, over her choice of name for her baby. What business of yours is her chosen name? I can almost hear the rusty cogs in that putrid mess you call a brain creaking, as it tries to assist you in spreading your bile. Would you say you yourself are a civilized human?

It would appear this thread has been started by yourself, in a lame bid to spark a religous war here. You're the very sort of human Caucaseans use as a tool to poke fun at traditional African names, now go crawl under a rock, and hide your face in shame.

Sticks and stones, water off a duck's back. I talk to people (not at them) as their attitude calls for. You posted your garbage, because you wanted a reaction. Well, you got it, so quit whinging. You wanted a Muslim versus Christian mud-slinging match, you're just peeved it didn't happen the way you wanted it to.

Any Nigerian who would poke fun at a supposedly close person's choice of name for their own child, and invite others to do the same is a stone jerk, end of. You should be rejoicing with your "school mother's" safe delivery, not going behind her back to call her names. You're the sort of person who's best avoided.

I wonder if your friend knows what you're really like?

If you had really wanted to know the meaning of those names out of curiousity,you could have gone to the Islam for muslims section and started a thread about it.... but this just seems like your real intention is to mock muslim names.
Not cool!

I'd try and be positive;

What you don't understand is these Moslem names are not pronounced like that, if you hear how it's pronounced, you'd fall in love.

Example the names you just called funny is called/ pronounced Mukram, Bashir,yokub,kamal,soli, Abdulah, Fatah and so on, open your mind and maybe you'd get educated undecided

...Only if you hug the said transformer first. Depending on what you looked like after you've hugged it, I might decline to do the same.

You messed up with your daft post - fact. Simply admit you were ignorant, and move on. Do you honestly, hand on heart think your old school mother would want you anywhere near her, or her newborn if she got to read this? When you actually implied that she's uncivilized? If you can't see anything wrong in your thread, then it's pointless even trying to make you see sense.

And that's why you need to educate her instead of venting grin

I go to Moslems naming ceremonies and hear new names from Al-Quran ,

I ask and the Alfas explain it to me, even tho I read the Quran and itumo, I still need to be educated when needed.

I don't think everyone's beyond redemption, so I'll tell you this - go through your opening post, and tell me there's nothing wrong with it. Then put yourself in your old school mother's position, then you stumble upon a post she made about you and your newborn baby on an online forum like you did. If you'd be happy with it, then so be it.

Everyone makes mistakes, that's how we learn. But if those mistakes are not acknowledged it's impossible to learn anything from them. It takes a decent person to admit they were wrong, rather than doggedly hanging on due to a false sense of pride.

I can't break things down any more than I already have. It's up to you to glean something out of it, or not. I'm done with you, you can either admit you were wrong, or carry on insulting. Either way, I'll acknowledge, but I won't respond.

Names that sound simple and cool, also they have to have good meaning. I have a lot a names, but people sometimes have something to say about them. My english name is so old school, and I am tired of close Yoruba friend calling me by that name. Also, my Yoruba name is too damn common! So there are many things to think about when naming your child. I am going to give my kids many names too!
