Funny that this thread will come up, there's this mental game I play, whenever I meet anyone (both male and female). I'll add their surname to my name just hear how it'll sound if I end up marrying from that family. Most times I laugh out loud. For me, I'm very particular about surnames, if I meet a guy and I like him but his surname don't gel with mine, I immediately zero him off my mind. I have a mouthful surname already and I won't want to burden my children with controversial names. Eg, alasoadura,ologunagba,abegunde,ewuoso,akarigidi etc.

A friend refused a man for answering Inyama. Said it reminded her of nyama nyama(dirty). Another refused an Onwu (death).

I think surnames matter. Which Igbo lady wants to answer Mrs Agbugbaeruleke?

What of Mrs 1dickatatime?

Yes, it matters, not only the name but also the background, village, clan

Nigerian ladies are selective when it comes to names.. Imagine names like Aderupokor, Adimeru, Ingidi, Mukaila, and the list goes on. Naija babes like Behind names ehn like Williams, Earl, Shawn, Joe etc.. But truth be told, names don't matter, attitude does.

madam I swear, the day u will meet the one u truely love, u won't remember to ask for his name let alone surname, b4 u know it u have taken his surname with love, u are married to him and not his surname. Btw who said surname can't be changed? Or better still ur husband's first name is ok na haba. Women and their wahala.

Lol, I've met him already and I asked for his name and surname although it's not my dream surname, I love him enough to accept it. The name isn't bad at all.

No, although some names have a real bad meaning!

Now u come, thank God the spirit of (zero off) was absent on that day, and love conquered the surname.

Its meaningless, what matters is the love.
