Yes giving your child an Igbo name isn't out of order because like I said earlier the two languages are painfully similar. One can argue that Ikwerre is a dialect of Igbo but that is a discussion for another day.It is debatable how you determine when a dialect becomes a language.

However, here are some more names that are particular to Ikwerre people

Okogbule
Nmerukini
Kinikanwo
Chimenem

But why would your husband not know Ikwerre names if he is Ikwerre?

Ikwerre name. Igbo name
Okogbule.
Nmerukini. Nmeregini
Kinikanwo. Ginikanwa
Chimenem. Chiemela
Ezenwo. Ezenwa
Ovunda. Obinna

What does pataki mean anyway?

Someone mentioned potoki as a synonym for portuguese in yoruba.

Not sure about that but pataki could be a loan word though i cant say for sure.

Can someone break down the meaning of pataki.

Pataki means Portuguese some people say Potokiri, still means the same thing.

What or where are the Igbo speaking indigenous communities in Akwa Ibom state?

Nobody killed anybody with the aim of promoting atheism. Stalin and Pol Pot killed thousands in order to perpetuate themselves in power not for the religion they believed in.
