Princess and Precious ---I always meet an Igbo in America whose daughter have 1 of these names. They are VERY ghetto names here in the states. In fact-- they sound lilke a stripper's name.

Bukky

and

damiLola

kemilola

and most others that end with lola. To an american ear-- they sound a bit ghetto.
