Tiwa: our own
Abidemi is unisex
Lolade is not God is with you
Lolade : The wealthy one has arrived
Oluwapelumi: God is with you/me

Bisi is not first daughter, Bisi means "added or multiply". The full name can be Olabisi: Wealth added, Adebisi: Crown added etc

Oluwabusayo: God added to my JOY not wealth

Too many errors and bloggers will just be doing copy and paste
