Nairalanders,

What is the most funny Name you ever come across? and if you know, what is thier nationality?


I met this guy from Mauritius.
His name is SOOPRAMANIEN VYTHELINGAPADIACHY

I cant even pronounce this properly, What about you?

i saw someone named Bimbo. it's funny if u no what bimbo means in english.  i hope this is no one's name here, if it is, i guess it ain't too funny .

that's my cousins name actually  . it's yoruba. it really doesn't mean anything.
ABIMBOLA does <-- that's the full spelling. the meaning is kind of confusing but something along the line of "we give birth to riches"? 

Buba is her nick name though.

I come across funny names everyday,here are some
Okon Okposong Itong
Adiaha Nkoriko
Oqua
they are all calabar names........the list is endless,names nervewracking

Sogologobangoshegbangbolamisatitan.

thats a fine name tho many are still coming in

Ghettochyk, Bimbo is a very common Nigerian (yoruba) name. Like Wesley said, it's A[b]BIMBO[/b]LA in full and it means "I was born into wealth/riches".

WesleyanA:

"we give birth to riches"

This one means OWOLABI. Wesley, go and polish your Yoruba skills.  

Sh!t...almost all my teachers in Secondary School and also in college have got funny names...names like..Winterbourne(Sociology Teacher),hinkinbottom(Law Teacher) Uppendown(Science Teacher) Button(Joe Button - Maths Teacher)Fisher(Mr Dave Fisher - English Teacher) - they all british

@ IAH

IAH:
it's A[b]BIMBO[/b]LA in full and it means "I was born into wealth/riches".

"yORUBA TEACHER", Dont forget Bisola is different from Bimbo

Akolawole:

@ IAH[b]"yORUBA TEACHER", Dont forget Bisola is different from Bimbo [/b]

Yoruba language, too complicated.

Why would a parent name a kid Bimbo. If my parents did such a heinous crime to me, I'll disown them.

well guys idont know if its the name or the story that is funny
But when i was in school i am talking 14/15yr old, we had this new boy in our class and my friends and i joked about how he looked wierd and there was something about him that cracked us up every time we saw him , so out of the blue i said hey look at ''okiemute'' of course this was not his name and we all secretly called him ''okiemute every time. One day my friend came to visit and my dad brought home his old friend and he had with him a little girl and i was busy saying to my friend thats my uncle and i heard him call out, ''okiemute'' his daughter to my horror, my friend ran out laughing and wanted to die. I never knew it was actually a name and for the love of God dont know where it came from. Any way it was ironic and served me right for being a little snob and a horrid teen I still think its a silly name real or not

how do u pronounce it? just curious .

funny stuff, okiemute is a common name in urhobo land. it sounds like ' oh kie moo tey'

haha, it is sure funny

once had a  colleague long time ago by the name ABEDO. meaning  beg for sex .{ an old yoruba name} she hated it to high heavens.

abedo probably means beg [or appeal to someone] to stay, though people would take it to mean beg for sex.


the "do" in this instance might be "stay", not "sex"

I was in NUGA Games some years back in Nigeria and saw a girl whose surname was IKPU. I drew the attention of my friend and we asked her to pronouoce it but she refused. Any Igbo person knows it is a funny name. She probably knew too.
