| Do You Know What Ur Name Mean At All? by Winifred468(op): 10:29pm On Jul 21, 2015 |
Many a time, people make funny faces and gestures at the mention of my name...dunno why. But the name seems to be ubiquitous to me. We often times have little or no knowledge about what our English name(s) mean,you know English is just a #second language. Perhaps,African parents would'nt have bothered to give their wards names in any language(s) other than theirs, but for the fact that they have a supposed official language spoken in their respective countries or to help people from other parts of the country/world pronounce their names well.(my instincts though). Ask me what 'winifred' means, i will tell you with my eyes closed ... Well,i had to find out what it means when comments like 'ah ah! Wich kin name b dt again?' , 'hmm.wteva' , 'is that your real name' , 'excuse me?' 's'oruko niyen sha?' (so many responses that i've lost count) were made whenever i'm asked for my name. Now, i am a proud bearer of the name 'WINIFRED', my Nigerian names inclusive. Are you proud of what you bear? |
