Is earthmama your baptismal name?
abeg osisi is cool
Your hearthrob Osi the footballplayer is probably Ositadinma usually shortened to Osita or Osi It means "let it be good from now onwards"

That your Funmilayo is a ghetto name in case you don't know grin
More like Funmidollar grin
It's just above Iyabo and Kudirat on the ghetto scale grin
didn't they see trendier names like Toyin and Tosin or even Yetunde to give you? shocked shocked

Oh please!

Nnenna, Nweze and osisi are full ghetto names. I am yet to see any woman that bears that name. Tosin, Toyin and Yetunde's have a tendency for prostitution. it's never a cool name if you understand what I mean.

Oh well, may be there is a Funmi somewhere that broke your heart. Funmi is the sexiest and hippest yoruba name that transcends over time. The name is timeless.
