peppyluv02: @ Arysexy, I think Imo has the highest number of men bearing female names. I met a cashier bearing Chidinma!my name sake!!, I so laughed at him that he was embarrased and I had to apologise.
Also my family friends from mbaise,Chioma and Chinyere.Both male and twins.
But its not an abuse like you termed it because their meaning all give glory to God.

same here I bear I femine name
One certain time I was writing ma exams one of our lectures dos days looked at ma I'd saw ma name he looked at me
Boi re u sure this ur name
I said but ma pix is der
Said eh but ur first name and middle name re all feminine name

adaobi123:

They'll still have igbo names. First name or middle name

And if your hubby also happen to have this kinda mindset, then you sure may end up with names like Chidinma Adesua Omoruyi, Babatunde Emaka Afolabi or even Halima Amaka Maku. Sound more like chaos and anarchy to me. Some names doesn't just sound good together. But then, what do I even know. I am jass a small boy.

The one i can't understand is why someone will call his or her child "Uwadiegwu" "Uwaezuoke" or "Echidime"
Mgbeke, Mgbafor, Mgborie, Mgbogonkwo, Nwayiogboyabasi (dunno any1 answers that name but my dad calls my aunt that when he wants to yab her)

skybeauty: u must be thinking am from Aro no am from Agulu di na Anambara m'bia buruzie nwadiala na aro

No,I didnt think you were Aro. I asked where you are from because the names you posted are similar to what is obtainable in Idenmili,where I hail from. By the way,why would you think I thought you were Aro ?

Op kindly tell us if "ODUNOKU" is an ibo name and its meaning.

Please what does Kesandu mean??

wo1F:


That "Olaedo" would be so fab if she can maintain the name into her adult life rather than going for its short form - "Ola". To me without the "edo" it looses all the sweetness and indeed the whole intention behind the naming.

That in part is how the erudite scholar, Ngozi Adichie carved a niche for herself by maintaining all the syllabules of "CHIMAMANDA" turning it into a brand. Unlike this 21st century airheads who would jettison the "CHIM" upon entering the university

Please, what does Kesandu mean?

These are the new generation Igbo names with Christian undertones/ beliefs. A whole lot of the names has God as either the suffix or prefix.

If they are common or not I cannot say, but names I did not see here (most from Kwenu Web site):

CHIKELU [Chi kelu.... = God created...]
DWV: CHIKE, CHUKWUKELU
Gender: Male

UBANAESE [Uba na-ese (okwu) = Wealth causes (problems)]
Intepretation: This name exemplifies the continued erosion of meanings in Igbo. Written as "Ubanese," it could easily be mistaken for an Italian name and the meaning lost with time. This name warns of the trappings of mindless materialism. Those who aspire to get rich by any means necessary usually end up in a lot of problems.
DWV: UBANAESEOKWU, UBANESE
Gender: Male

JIBUUGWU[Ji bu ugwu = Yam is respect]
Interpretation: The prestige that comes with the possession of yams brings a lot of respect to the skills of the owner. Yes, the possesssion of yams is a source of respect. [See also Dibuugwu, Nwabuugwu]
DWV: JIBUGWU
Gender: Male

URENNA [Ure nna (ya) = The charm/pride of (her) father]
DWV: URE, URENNAYA
Gender: Female.

IKEJIANI [Ike ji Ani = The power that holds the Earth Deity.]
Interpretation: “Ikejiani,” as a word qualifies for the English equivalent of “Gravity.” However, it is not known how it came to become a name nor what the name-giver had in mind. It is most likely that this stuck as a family name from a “society” name, a praise name more than a name given at childhood. It means the person must have been so powerful they nicknamed him the ultimate power known to man, even if it bothers on blasphemy.

ONWANEETILIORA [Onwa na-etili ora = The moon the shines for all]
Interpretation:
DWV: ONWANETIRIOHA
Gender: Male

Nkemjika.. what i have is the best

[quote author=OdenigboAroli post=26340162]
Odenigbo means "one who writes in Igbo"

[quote author=OdenigboAroli post=26340162]
Odenigbo means "He who writes in Igbo"
