The apostle of feminism by force who thinks of men as women's enemies. I'm surprised she hasn't come out of the closet as a lesbian.

Don't deceive yourself. She is happily married with children

Her crave to change names in order to "fit in".

It’s actually the other way around.

She chooses names that make her stand out!
Once the name is popular she changes them!

You have comprehension issues.

Who needs a constant change of names whenever they had to change location? Well, it's okay If you think I have issues with comprehension, but know also that it's already too late for your opinion to count. IPhone 5 Wussbag.

That's how adanma changed her name to Amanda also

That is not true as they're not anywhere close in meaning.
The name Ada cannot be given to any girl child, just the first of an Igbo family, that is why it isn't common.
Ada is more of a title than a name. Adamma is beautiful both as a name and as what one is.
