I am an advocate for cultural names. In all my travelled life and exposure, i have never seen a white man adopt the names of any other culture.
Igbo parents should learn to give Igbo names to their children and care less if people can't pronounce it. If you cant pronounce mine, i cant pronounce yours too.

Imagine if Chimamanda's parents gave her Rose Anderson or Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was named Yvonne cleopatra just to sound modern and please people. We must maintain our heritage.

Are you yet to marry or expecting babies here are unique names. feel free to add yours and join me in the campaign for Igbo names.
