O di ka Nwaanyi I za Chioma, bia jor njo..

The day I went on a business meeting with a hotel, manager ya a si m na nke m zaga aha umu yori yori..Mu aju o ya ma ajoro m njo, ya si mba kwa o, m si ya Ngwanu.

I za aha and the bearer looks matters.

Munzy14:

Mkpuruoma(good seed)..I heard it in 2015..Probably going to be my first daughter's name..

Mmiriaku.
Chimamanda.

Victoria.
Chiamaka.

Mariangeles:



A good character is the true beauty of a person.

Mariangeles:


Mkpuruoma.

Mariangeles:


Mkpuruoma. How daring!

Ha wurukwanu ejima? Ha a zawa mkpuruoma na mkpurummiri.

Munzy14:

I likiri the name?

Mariangeles:


Kinda. It's creative and daring.

I was talking to someone about how our people hardly come up with new names.
They mostly just stick to the old names.

There are some names in English that I would love to translate to the Igbo version, but they don't sound beautiful in Igbo. Even though the meaning is beautiful.

Munzy14:

Taa...gbafuo

Ishi nini...Mkpurummiri kwa

Mkpuruoma na Mkpurunma

Chai chukwu nye kwa m ejima Nwaanyi abuo..

Na na nwoke Abuo, O kwu agwuu .lol

Munzy14:

As in eeh so daring..

Truth...We are used to those chioma, chiamaka, kamsy, kosy etc...

Na new beautiful and well routed names na ala anyi ka m ga akpo umu m.

Mmiriaku was used by chimamanda in her book..Creative thinking.


Mention the names let me see how creative they are? Ma otokwara uto na nti.

Mariangeles:


Hahahahahahahahahahaha

If you think about it, mkpurummiri should mean Crystal, which is a very beautiful name for girl, but they ruined it.

Mariangeles:


Chimamanda has a very creative mind. She's culturally creative.
Did you know she came up with the name Chimamanda?
I'm yet to read her books though, just her articles.


OK. I wanted to translate the word Dew in Igbo as a name for a girl, but it didn't sound beautiful.

Munzy14:

Yes...Her name wunu Ngozi nwa professor adiche

Half of a yellow sun..wu nkem guru la..

Yet to read Americana and purple hibiscus..She combined things from her growing up, to write a lot...

And she grew up in the west..But knows Igbo a lot kara di anyi wu ndi toro ebe a.

Dew wu nu Igirigi na Igbo...Oops! Sounded odd..

Anambra people are creative with native names..


Then in school, O nwere a guy aha ya kpakpandu Nwazota..Which is Star.
His real name o.
Very cute cute names..

Ebuka guru nwa ya jeweluchi..I know he only want that Jewel Obi-Uchendu.

For me, first nwa ga aza English name my wife, Ma ta wuru nwaanyi.

Ya wuru Nwoke, O ga awu my English name..

Then native names will be Unique.

Munzy14:

Crystal meth....Lol

Mkpurummiri...Ya wuru ndi ebe ahu i nor, ha si o wu Impuru mmiri

bukatyne:
For strange reasons, I love the name Amarachi.

Interesting, all the ladies I know bearing that name are very very beautiful.

Mariangeles:


Mkpuruoma. How daring!

Ha wurukwanu ejima? Ha a zawa mkpuruoma na mkpurummiri.

englishmart:
Isi adirogi mma

Mariangeles:


Afa'm bu Isioma.

Mariangeles:


She made the Igbo language attractive and interesting to learn for umu ndi Igbo of this generation.
Especially for ndi nu odu ije.
She made being Igbo a thing of pride for her generation.
I admire her for those more than anything.



Yes, but the meaning is beautiful.
One can still dare to name their child that.

There are also names that sound beautiful than their meaning.




That is true.
Someone even bragged about it that we copy their names.

I thought about star as well, and thought Kpakpando sounded weird too.
I never knew they already bear it sef.
It sounds strong in Igbo, so it'll suit a boy child better.



The name is so creatively cool.
Our version will be Gawarachi.

You know what? He can call his daughter that, and still name her jewel as her English name.
A win win in both ways.

One nollywood actor named his child Chisomaga. I like the name.



What if you don't like your wife's English name?
What if she doesn't like yours?
Won't you get bored calling and hearing your own name over and over?
I don't fancy that style of parents giving their child their names.

unu eworugo asusu Igbo de juo ebea. Igbo amaka

Mariangeles:


Shi nga puo osiso!

comrade I dey hail oh..

I pray make the belle turns out to be triplets, so you could join the remaining names of Sophia, Mirabel and Maryann and give it to them all

Islandlady:
Adenike, Akunna, Zainab, Belema

Yes I am a Nigerian and not an English woman so our native names are the most beautiful

bantilosha:
I NO dey fear triplets

Mariangeles:


Mkpuruoma. How daring!

Ha wurukwanu ejima? Ha a zawa mkpuruoma na mkpurummiri.

Mariangeles:
