Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Thaks for wishing me happy birthday everyone; I really appreciate it.

I just love the name Ada . . . hopefully my first child would be a girl, she's got a name already.

Ada is a nice name; most Ibo parents prefet giving it to their first daughters; so it would be great for you to name your daughter Ada.
I'm even considering between Ada and Nkechi which one to choose.

Crazykid more names pls

Just tell me the ones you wish to know and I shall help you out.

Rain?

Alright; So I guess I've won myself the snack right?

Moyola:

[quote author=**osisi link=topic=244823.msg3621399#msg3621399 date=1237556790]Below, I have compiled a few Igbo (Ibo) names and their meanings. The list is by no means comprehensive. I welcome suggestions and additions. Please see my compilation to learn more about the languages and cultures of Nigerian ethnic groups, including the Ijaws, Igbos, Hausas, and Yorubas.

Historical Background: The Igbo calendar has an eight-market-day cycle instead of the regular seven-day week. In the Igbo language, a week is known as an "izu." There are four market days in Igbo tradition, Nkwo, Eke, Orie (or Oye) and Afo. Each must pass twice to make up an izu or one week.[/b]A child may be named to indicate the market day on which (s)he was born: Nweke (m), Okeke (m), Okereke (m) or Mgbeke (f) ; Nwafor (m), Okafor (m), or Mgbafor (f); Nwankwo (m), Okonkwo (m), Okoronkwo (m) or Mgbonkwo (f); and Nworie (m), Okorie (m), Okoghe (m) or Mgborie (f).[/quote]Nice List you got there Osisi.

If I should be permitted to add a few more Ibo names and their meanings so yorubas and other tribes on this forum who might wish to give their children ibo names might benefit from it.
