Upon all d years of colonianism, 90% of yorubas still maintain their status quo (names) and not name there wards in oyinbo names like some other tribes of dis country. Infact, I make jest of some of youruba friends that bears williams, George, Salvage n rest... I tell them that them grand papas na oyinbo slaves, them oyinbo give new name

wts wrong with bearing an english name illiterate

OLANIYI is a Yoruba name, but in my language it means = it spoilt, it went to ruin or it dilapidated

Was this list compiled from facebook?

I saw something that made me wonder if it was.

dimples*:
I asked som1 to give me a yoruba name, he said itunu!

I know it means somtyn about peace! But it sounds like a curse word to me.

E.g look at this girl, itunu like you

Pls I need a sweeter name,ejo

How about Morenikeji? Your friends can call you Nike, or Nikky or Renny (Rihanna).

It means, I have found a friend. Or, I have found my better half. Or, more contemporarily, "You complete me!"
