Nigerian Baby Names by leilata(f): 9:23pm On Apr 24, 2006 |
Any ideas for lovely nigerian baby names for both sex, please give meanings of names. |
Re: Nigerian Baby Names by Zahymaka(m): 11:47pm On Apr 24, 2006 |
There is no such thing as a "Nigerian" name. There are over 250 ethic groups in Nigeria with over 500 distinct languages. Maybe you should request a name from a particular tribe. 1 Like |
