the only problem with adding the "ho" is people will change it to "ho". maybe try Foluxe or Foluques also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_name |

tpiah01: That will not work. The composition of the Portuguese language is such that it greatly diverges from the yoruba language. Consequently if they choose a more 'Portuguese sounding' name, this will completely change the meaning, thereby defeating the initial purpose. 1 Like |

truthspeaks:not racism if a Yoruba who his mum is an igbo woman and wants to contest for governor of lagos and put his names as chukwuemeka ogunbiyi no yoruba person will vote him |
Re: Yoruba Name Not For Your Daughter - Brazilian Officials Tell Couple by tpiah01: 3:31pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
heo88: seems Foluke means surrendered into the hands of God, therefore the literal translation into Portuguese would be Rendeu-se nas maos de Deus (from google). They can try contracting it into a name since the meaning can also be expressed in their native Portuguese. 1 Like |

tpiah01: I don't know about the veracity of this particular story, but I've observed this phenomenon in several countries where language imperialism still holds sway, albeit in subtle ways. I doubt the officials would object to naming the child Mary (Hebrew), Katherine (English), Rosaria (Spanish), Stephanie (French), Heidi (German), or Anastasia (Greek). None of these are Portuguese sounding. Are you telling me that parents from other parts of the world who reside in Brazil are denied their choice of baby names to reflect their own origin? This is a racist and ignorant policy. Yoruba names are just as valid as names from other countries in Europe. Yes, the child may be subject to some bullying in school (but shouldn't teachers and other adults be sensitized to prevent children from doing it), but that is not sufficient reason to deny a child her heritage. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Yoruba Name Not For Your Daughter - Brazilian Officials Tell Couple by OBAGADAFFI: 4:04pm On Mar 29, 2016 |
officials have to check whether or not the name could affect the child negatively later in life. This has led many parents to choose European-sounding names. What oracle did they consult to know this. Is the registration office into stargazing 1 Like 1 Share |

nextstep: if that's their law (I dont know though), then the parents should make the child's name sound more Portuguese. I dont see anything to fight over. |

grbgrb4: Apparently you don't know the historic connection with yoruba heritage/lineage of African Brazilians. And also, how can you say there's nothing like racism. But you want the parents to only use her tribal name at home. Do you have sense at all? 1 Like |

the names are even from different parts of Africa. According to the write up, Makeda is an Ethiopian name meaning queen. I think I agree this naming pattern might affect the innocent baby. Just give her a Portuguese name. If the father is Afreeka instead of Africa, why must the baby be the one to carry traditional naming patterns? |
