When you even call him by the formal verbally he gets irritated and furious...i keep wondering is that not your identity?

@ topic it's preposterous of me thinking such.

My friend's name is ocheze(king's seat), I wonder what her parents were smoking when they gave her that name.

Yeah to an igbo name

hadjipapiey:
In the time past as old as ancient, names are regarded as a symbolic means of identification, Ditto names of things and objects.

We however, by the way of church CHRISTENING, TRADITIONALLY, or in the way of Islam which is called AQEEQA, have a name given to us which connotes different meaning and at the same time expecting resultant positive effect of the name of the BEARER.

Sometimes, either by ignorance or by duress a child may be named a nomenclature that is archaic, doesn't have good meaning. In the west are names of Traditional deities, or objects whereby the bearer,as he or she grows older and wiser they despise those names. Vis-à-vis the UK and US .

We hear of different names like AJANLEKOKO, OGUNGBRMI, OYALEKE, ERINJOGUNOLA, BLIND, STONE, KEY Etc..

The question is Are you cool with your name and the meaning it connotes? If no, are considering changing it?


Mine is عبد الرزاق
Abdur Razaq
Meaning: The servant of ALLAH, (The Provider).

It is Abdul Razaq or Abdur Razak?

Agbabiaka 1. Nothing dey happen

Yes, but not now, I am still someone conscious of what my family would do or say if I do that
But when I grow up and become independent, I will definitely change my Muslim name to a more befitting and adorable Muslim name (will be among the 99 names of Allah), just that I will have to go through certain things apart from legal steps (as stated by the prophet)
I hate my current third name like.....

Don't ask me what it is

Mine was George Amuewu IkeMama Ngozi. Am thinking of changing it.

Hmmm, interesting topic, but whichever way, I will prefare to go with any western or Local/traditional names. They do well for the child especially when you want to be free at heart when you can not be limited to what you can do in life. But Religious Names, no no for me, they trap you. How on earth should one be named Emmanuel, Joshua, moses, Michael, Elizabeth, Rachael etc for Christ sake they are prophets, you can't be E money with those names, no wonder Michael Adenuga changed to Mike. Daniel malaye to Dino, all Joshua are becoming Josh and Jeremiah becoming jerry and some others. Abeg I like my name the local way Abike

Names like Ajanlekoko are nicknames that became surnames. It depicts bravery that an ordinary dog can oppress a Hyena. It’s not meaningless...

My name is Dick, my parents thought it was a cool name after hearing it from an American movie, needless to say that I was teased throughout my school days and I think it is part of the reason I'm currently in my line of business. I wish I can change it.

yes you can change it by going to a court of law to swear an affidavit to that effect

id911:


I want to change all my three names. I no longer feel like bearing my family name or any given name(s) from my parents. I don't know how to go about it especially on my International Passport

when u are ready go to a court of law to swear an affidavit and also news paper publication

No! Never! I love my name.
It means light... And that was what birthed "Radiant "

yes.....I even want to change my English name to native name,cos it's too western for my liking and it's meaningless ....I believe I'm African tradition and culture

And what is the Name?

megacity:
YES


I didnt like my names so I changed my middle name and surname some years ago. The only reason I kept my first name was to maintain some sort of link with my former name

Since then I have had all manner of issues! Once I gained admission to a postgraduate program in a university in this country and they almost didnt allow me to register because according to the associate dean (a prof), a man cannot change two names! According to the prof, the best they would do was to register me in my former name since my first degree certificate bears that name!

My forefathers coined those name based the limited knowledge they had back then and the names are not like godly. If after being a Christian for many years I cannot find the guts to correct the mistakes of my forefathers, I should be considered a failure

Good course

I bet you'll spend nothing less than 150k to change that in Abuja. I did changed my age on my passport in 2014, spent like 120k. It's possible doh

For the rest, do affidavits or on newspaper publication

Mtchew. You want to tell us you don't have a native name at all?

Elliot: sounds like one British sailor. I don't like it,I would prefer a native name.

Never! I love my names.

verifiablefacts:

It is Abdul Razaq or Abdur Razak?

Who's this one
Who teaches one how to write his name

BTW, you just proved to be among numerous goofballs who, when you write Abdur Razaq give them, they'll still change it to Abdul Rasak especially in banks. I change am for one, even after I told her write my name as it's written there, she still wrote nonsense. Na you born me! Abi you sabi transliterated my name pass me ni!
