Lilimax: My name is not there.... Nmesomachukwu means 'God's good deeds'. To be honest, I'm tired of the "Chi craze". We need more diversity. 3 Likes |

oboy3: those names you wrote there are not non-chi/chukwu names. Through scrutiny of those names proves that. Lotanna - Lotachi/chukwu kosisochukwu - kosisochi for IfebUCHECHUKWUgaeme, virtually every Igbo name is a derivative from a sentence, the name Uchechukwu/Uchenna/Uchechi comes as IfebUCHECHUKWUgaeme but it is normally shorten to ease pronunciation. Others include: Ekene - Ekenedirichukwu Ifeanyi - Ifeadighianyichukwu Emeka - ChukwuEmekaram Nneka - Nnekaiheowula Nzube - Nzubechukwugaeme etc.. 2 Likes 1 Share |
