Secret_Dreams: Proud Yoruba boy ! I'm sure igbo people will bring out a similar thread soon. Just as you posted, in a short while. You will see names you've never heard before. All these names have been allowed to die as a result of preference to another. |

Not attempting to discredit your effort but you've given literary meanings to many of the names. It doesn't work like that in many cases. For instance, "Yewande" cannot be literally translated to "mother looked for me". I'm sure you know it doesn't really mean that. It's actually a name given to a girl whose grand mother just passed away shortly before her birth. Yorubas use it more as a symbol and remembrance of the event rather than anything else.
