Its Ojo (male) and Aina (female)
Ojo and Aina are babies born with the umbilical cord around their neck instead of in the usual position.

Within seven days, the nature of the cry of the baby would have been known to determine what it will be named. Most of these names are no longer fashionable. Even a name like "Okanlawon" (one in many) is rarely used. When used, it is usually informally to refer to a person that does not bear it as his name. A girl that is the only female among male is Okanlawon. The same thing applies to a boy.
Oh I see... but someone just mentioned that babies with such names aint amutorunwa, cos its more like circumstances surrounding their birth, just like Bidemi.

Never knew thats the meaning of Okanlowon.... I love the name ehnnn...... Thanks for making me know the meaning. Learnt something today smiley

it might be because the child is doing things the opposite way from what normally obtains.

Babies tend to sleep in the day and cry at night. A child who sleeps at night and cries during the daytime, would be unusual.

just guessing the reason, Oni might not strictly be a natural name, but it's close.
Oh smiley
Ive seen babies that cry during the day and sleep at night. But never saw it as anything special. Just felt they were seeking unnecessary attention.

That man is a clown grin but he is saying the truth.
You know what the name "Olaniyi" means in Igbo? The day I heard that name I was just pitying the bearer.

@topic: Nothing beats culture. This is very educating. This OP, is it the Tpia of old? Or someone is cloning her?
The day I hear "lamotu/ramotu"
I wan laff die
I hope u know the meaning

traditionally, it would be considered an indication of the baby's character or temperament.
