OdenigboAroli:


Sure,my lady.

thanks a lot

Arinze means,for the goodness of God or for his sake...so so happened. Na mu di ndi tata bu Arinzechukwu.

OdenigboAroli:
Nnaa,nekwonu Ala Ngwa....lol

O bu maka amamwhe.

Phut, I would actually rank Odera pretty high up the ladder. Authenticity is present. Repetition [the good kind] is noted. Tone, yes. Meaning, didn't break it for me. My overall immediate reaction is good. A person with celebrity-like qualities would easily boost the name's appeal.

What of all these names with this 'chopping money' feel

Oliaku
Obiageli
My personal favourite Akufor

MrsPhyno:
Better safe than sorry as they say Oga

Same principles as gurle.

Keep it up

"amamwhe"...nna,translation biko.

Phut:


Yes I have. Its: Ka anyi je be Enugu.

Other recommendations for you: Have you listened to Illbliss: Bank alerts and Nara Ekene? Youtube it.
Also do you know Mista Chivagu? Watch his video for "Nganga" and "I done change hand." I believe you will enjoy them and also learn something

@ Resident expert (Radoillo) What dialect does Stormrex sing in?

LOL @ Resident expert.

Stormrex's dialect (I believe) is the Nkanu dialect of Enugu State.

OdenigboAroli:
"amamwhe"...nna,translation biko.

"Knowledge"

Nice input @phut

Good to see you're putting effort @gurgle

Its never late to be fluent in Igbo @mrsphyno

Its a pity your parents didn't teach you Igbo but its not an excuse, we have seen adults learn foreign languages and are very versed in it. Watch Igbo movies, read Igbo books, interact with people that speak the language, and let friends/cousins/relations teach you-there's no shame in it


Personally i love these names:

Somadina-I will not dwell/live alone

Munachimso- I am moving with my God

Kosisochukwu- As it pleases God

Kamsiyochukwu-As I asked God

Kaimarachi-Lets acknowledge God

Chidumebi-God leads me alive

Chikanso-I move with God

Cheers!

Gurgle:


JEaalousy and your own name, what does it sound like

since I know what those names sounds like, you should be able to tell me what mine sounds like

melzabull:

That is for my first daughter . . .if my future wife will agree o!

I love the name. is it unisex?

The most sexiest "EGO"

The most sexiest "EGO"

I like this your style o

MrsPhyno:

I always get so weirded out when Enugu indigenes name their kids Arinze. Like why would they do that when they're not from there. I guess the name is now becoming universal? Cause I know some people from Enugu who did that.

I am from Enugu
...in my dialect, one of the ways we say thanks is "arinze"
You do not "know" Igbo....but you are already expert in identifying wrong dialects!!
Very SMH

I thought you were learning..what do I know
@ post....your names are okay....most of them...even better than the sexy Alaoma
I love love Uzoma....to pieces

Gurgle:


Ok I just googled it. Arinze (chukwu)- If not for the grace of God

Can you please give some examples of your later points? They are quite abstract

Arinze denotes gratitude
....I do not quite have the meaning in English....once someone says it, I will know
It is not quite what Google says

Obioma is also beautiful

I was under the impression that Enugu indigines use 'Ekene' as thanks commonly. Even tho there are of course different clans in Enugu. You definitely know more about this than I do so I defer to your opinion

What do you think about the Chi and Chukwu names? I like them. Cause the nicknames are always easy and cute. Just take out the chi and you already have a nickname.

Yeah go ahead

'Arinzechi' - mercy of God

I love this names. Chiemelie - Emelie (male) - Godwin. Chimamanda - Amanda (female) - My God will not fail. Jachimma - Jachi (male) - Praise the Lord.

'Arinzechi' - mercy of God

Arinzechi could also mean "If not for God". Arinzechukwu akarom ibu ifem bu na ubochi ta.

ChinenyeN:
Sexiness is subjective, BUT... if I had to say anything, I'd say that only Arinze can qualify out of all the other names in the OP's initial list. Aside from that, I'm looking at all the names posted so far and I've got to say, una no sabi segzi ma otu. The number one female name on earth should be Alaoma. Hewu.. see chills down my spine. For male names... I'll leave that up to the individual towns and villages to decide.

Abeg, dede Ngwa, park well, which one be Alaoma? I know you're a proud Ngwa man cos I've followed Igbo threads here on Nairaland. My mum is from Ngwa too but I must admit, I dont like Ngwa names one bit. Alaoma no sweet kobo for my ears o! Ngwa names such as Mgbechi, Nwanganga, nwamgburuka,Diogo, Kasarachi etc, these names funny die o
