I dont know if you're Yoruba but ile lan nwo ka to somoloruko, which is to say traditionally you give your child a name based on your background or family environment.


If you're not in tune with your roots then you could give a child any name, but as someone guessed, are you planning for your daughter to identify as a different gender?

Different gender? God forbids bad thing. I will check other names.

Your wife can and your daughter could. Your daughter could simply refused to be identified by that name.


Beosten:


Thanks, bro. I know no one can challenge me by giving her the name. The name will earn her respect as people will be surprised that the name is often given to men with great ancestral history. From literal interpretation, Aluko is a bird with the color that symbolizes beauty in Yoruba land.

You’re not the bearer of the name. Give her a name she’ll love when she grows up

Aluko is a bird associated with camwood (osun) in traditional Yoruba. Camwood is used in making red dye and also to lighten the skin tone. It's feathers are part of the masquerade outfit.

agbe lo l'aro, aluko lo l'osun
