Ifeoma/Iheoma/Ihioma can anyone find other versions of "Nonso"? |
Re: Igbo Names In At Least Three Separate Dialects by AloyEmeka9: 9:43pm On Oct 17, 2008 |
can anyone find other versions of "Nonso"?Nonso is not a complete name. Chinonso/Chukwunonso Amaechi/Echidime/Onyemaechi/Amechi Onyebuchi/Onyedikachi/ibeabuchi/maduabuchi |
Re: Igbo Names In At Least Three Separate Dialects by ChinenyeN(m): 4:55am On Dec 30, 2008 |
ifyalways: Well, we typically say "di nda" (O di nda), as opposed to "no nso" (O no nso). So another version of "Nonso" (Chi/Chukwunonso) could be "Dinda" (Chi/Chukwudinda). Here are two that I could remember. . . Adiele/Anene/Anele (Ana m ele Chi) Chidiadi/Chidi That's it I guess. |
