The irony is none of these names are Hausa names. They are Islamic names just like James or john are Christian names. I was reading an article sometime ago where it was said that indigenous Hausa names have almost disappeared.

[/b]Chukwuemeka (probably the most popular Igbo name)[b]

Ifeanyichukwu/Iheanyichukwu (another cool Igbo name given mostly to males than females)

Ada... ( In almost every Igbo family, there’s one)

Chinedu (this one too is quite popular)

Chukwudi/Chidi (Quite common too)

Chinonso (I like this one)

Ogechi.

Ngozichukwu.

Uchechukwu/Uchenna.

I could go on...
You are correct!

We don't really have common names in Yoruba land. We only have unique names that can be easily linked to your town or state of origin.
For instance Bello (Kwara state), Olowookere (Osun or Ondo), Oguns, Ifas, ....(Ogun state)

Figure out the tribe.

Kunle means it is plenty. What is "plenty" depending on the prefix to "Kunle". If it is Omokunle, it means children plenty for house. If it is Ayokunle, it means Happiness plenty for house. If it is Olakunle, that is when it means wealth plenty.
