therese chizoba: I work in the bursary dept of a school and I marvel at the type of names I hear during registration.e.g costly,mybaby, shame,ability,resonance and Some very funny names I can't remember.don't really know wat goes on in some parents mind when naming their kids.

greatgod2012: As for naming children phrases, its already happening, a colleague of mine name his boy "the Lord answer me"....can you imagine? Later, i asked him, how he is really going to be calling d boy, he said, d short form of d name is "answer"....

BAMMZ: From native names e.g Bandele to religious names e.g. David and now to "positive cönfession/prophetic names like favor, destiny, miracle, great, testimony, etc. Sounds funny to me. Soon it will be phrases & sentences to show how positive we are like "it is wel,God is good, i wil make it,etc
We are taking everything to the extreme,civilisation & religion. We are gradualy phasing out those sweet native names like nkiruka, alake, ashake, Asabe, ndidi,etc. We are gradually killing our culture. Kai.

ayabunmi: Imagine this scenerio;

Joy tell Happiness to give you the soap Peace bought from Divine.

therese chizoba: shame,.

figur: Well my uncle named his kids Shepherd,Testimony,and Dance.it was funny initially but right now everyone is used to it.

Ellashow: If your friend is Yoruba the "the Lord answer me" can simply be put "Oluwagbotemi" because have heard of that name before and for "the Apple of God's eyes" in Yoruba is "Ododo'luwa" that one is really common now, I know like 2 people who actually named their kids that

adeaugustus: Shepherd is not a bad name.
@OP: Why do you think those modern names are not good? Personally, If the name makes sense and carry a really good meaning then there is nothing wrong with it. I bear Augustus, (not a modern name) but where i live people still ask me what the name means! Short and meaningful name is cool. Either in traditional language or foreign language
