My name means 'that which brings wealth together'. Still waiting on the wealth though undecided


Born on the feast of St. Justin hence my baptismal name.

This is one of the most useless comments I have seen.So is it a crime if the mother decides for the family what a myopic,primitive and chauvinistic comment.I wonder if this made any sense to you.

And she vexed... Hahahahahahah aha... U wan fight op?

So in other words Hippolyta is a known troublemaker on NL? @somegirl1,kudos on your wonderful reply.

No na, look at it this way, only a staunch defender of women, like yourself, could put him in his place. You get?

I was name Shade because of my elder sister.

According to d story my mom told us, she kept running after a particular girl called shade who was a bit older than her. she couldn't pronounce d word 'Shade' properly so she ended up calling d girl Ede(Ede in yoruba means crayfish)
cheesy. My mom said d girl was always beating and telling her not to call her Ede again. she said she was always feeling bad and immediately she gave birth to me, she named me Shade and told my sister that she has her own Ede now.
ironically, we were told she never called me Ede since d day I was born. she pronounced my name clearly.

Before checking ur dp, I knew you must b an embodiment of beauty. I have never seen ugly Shade since I was born and now am getting old...

My name has no meaning, funny enough I am the only one that bears that name, it gave me lot of worries when growing up because I was searching for a namesake, I changed the name to an Igbo version, at least it makes more sense to me.

If you know you know
This name has two different meanings
1. The one that came when things were in abundance
2. The one that came during mourning
Which one is yours? It's not an "if you know you know" something
