Danish Authorities Reject Ebuka As Baby's Name, Approves William by nlfpmod(mod): 9:25pm On Sep 25

A Nigerian woman living in Denmark laments after the Danish government refused to approve her son’s second name, “Ebuka.”

According to her, baby names in Denmark have to be approved by the church and government. They approved “William” but rejected “Ebuka,” asking her to provide proof that Nigerians actually bear the name “Chukwuebuka.”

They want proof. A working system that documents processes. All you have to do is provide the proof and it will be in the system.

You're from Africa, so is the name Ebuka. William is western, and they've had these for centuries. All you had to do is do the right thing, but no! As a typical Nigerian, you set up your phone's camera to lament. That's why I avoid Nigerian and Afriacn girls in Europe. Very useless creatures

They would have accepted Adeyemo or Deinde!

How can you carry a baby for nine months and name him Ebuka or Oseloka

Some humans are just wicked!

You see parents naming kids Okechukwu, Ifeanyi, Chima, Okonkwo and sought of distasteful names!

Use names like Adetoni, Damola or Kemi.

If you cannot use better names, just name the kids after animals like dog, lion, wolf, snake and rat.

Explain to them your Igbo heritage and share the meaning of your chosen names. You can also point them to movies and texts that feature the name Ebuka, and even to Nigerian celebrities who share it, like Ebuka Obi-Uchendu. Adopt a total-solutions mindset: don't just give them the name, give them everything they need to understand and appreciate it."

Why would you be in another man's country and be dictating to them the rules you want to live by?? Did anyone force anyone to emigrate??

Also William, or it's more popular European version, Wilhem, is a name they are familiar with in Denmark as they have had royalty bear the name

Why should she provide proof? Like she can't name her child any name without prove of what exactly. Its your kind that justify Britain asking us Nigerian they colonized and makes English our officials language to go and get proof of English if you want to travel through educational route.

If you don't know, why don't you ask.

You cannot name your child any name you please in most civilised countries which includes the UK and the US. There are local rules that must be followed for the public and for the child's well being.

An average Nigerian can't speak properly. This nation is backed by highscale irregularities. People buy certificates. You need to see a rejection letter issued by the Swedish embassy to a Nigerian claiming even the authenticity of certificates can't be validated because it can be bought. Is that a lie? Hello no!.

If she does not like the rules of Denmark which every citizen follows, she can come back to her country that is lawless where people like you enjoy the dysfunctional government.
