What Are The most Unpopular Baby Names? by Ronnie65(f): 3:10am On Sep 25, 2014
I am acutely sure that,most of us don't want a common name for that innocent tiny soul (baby)....But, out of the fear of I don't want a common name for my sweet baby or let me say out of ignorance, so many people are making the mistake of naming their child wrongly. I was chatting with a friend and our discussion led us into different names we have heard. Has anyone heard the name Kotomi( not enough ), esuogbadun( devil is not alright)....Just imagine someone on a call (hello daddy kotomi, good evening )....What will be your reaction?

For religious reasons , many people have started to name their children weird names.

Names that have exceeded the conventional. Names that have turned into "sentences".

1. God is Able
2. God's day
3. Jesus Power
4. Ojutiwon. (Shame on them)

These are few of the weirdest names I have come across based on religion.

But travelling to Port Harcourt some years back, I heard people been called names like
1. Director General
2. Major General
3. Good luck
4. Apolonius grin
5. Livinus
6. Hyacinth
7. Jacinta
8. All other names ending with "nus" grin
E.t.c


Whatever the reasons behind this names, am sure the parents will feel contented with such absurdity.

I have heard so many funny names but the most amazing are: "shame on them" i.e. is the interpretation and when I heard of the motive behind the name, in my mind I felt the grandparents who named the child by that name ridiculed themselves because the person they were referring to wasn't at the the christening and I doubt he will ever think they were referring to him.
