Bidemi is not an amutorunwa name.

It's a general name describing the family situation at the time of birth, like most other Yoruba names.

The amutorunwa names are what the child itself brings with him, naturally. I think Abidemi is more of an Abiso right? Dats my name sha!
MY FELLOW BIDEMIcheesy

ANYWAYS BIDEMI IS A NAME GIVEN TO SOMEONE WHOSE FATHER WAS NOT AROUND AT THE TIME OF THEIR BIRTH.IT'S UNISEX.

THE FULL NAME IS ENI A BI DEMI.BUT IT'S USUALLY CALLED ABIDEMI OR BIDEMI.

All African names and indiginous black names are eternal which also include the muslim names. Be very proud of them. and best leave it as "Tunde".

OMOPE is a child born later than the normal period.
SALAKO (male) Talabi (female) is a child born with the head and body covered in embryonic membrane.
ABIONA is a child born when the mother is on a journey or on the way home.
Are Salako and Talabi not Muslim names?

I'm surprised this thread has garnered so many views, the topic is supposed to be common knowledge, or am I missing something? huh

and, @ fp, the names are not considered uncommon/rare, they're generic or natural.

That's why we are so uniquely different here, all the languages in Nigeria have the best representation of character and situations, they give deep expression with meanings that don't even exist in english.

yeah, and in most cases do have an effect in their ways of life.
