This is one of the most useless comments I have seen.So is it a crime if the mother decides for the family what a myopic,primitive and chauvinistic comment.I wonder if this made any sense to you.

Re: What's The Reason Behind Your Name? by Shadydamsel(f): 8:04pm On May 22, 2018
I was name Shade because of my elder sister.

According to d story my mom told us, she kept running after a particular girl called shade who was a bit older than her. she couldn't pronounce d word 'Shade' properly so she ended up calling d girl Ede(Ede in yoruba means crayfish)
cheesy. My mom said d girl was always beating and telling her not to call her Ede again. she said she was always feeling bad and immediately she gave birth to me, she named me Shade and told my sister that she has her own Ede now.
ironically, we were told she never called me Ede since d day I was born. she pronounced my name clearly.

It would seem people call you ugly a lot or you just feel that way cause your sisters are prettier. Plus, nobody's ugly at birth

My name is Idowu. Most yoruba peeps knw d reason behind d name. But for d non-yorubas: in yoruba culture and tradition, a baby born after the twins, irrespective of its gender, is named 'Idowu'

My Mum was billed for evacuation because I was supposed to be dead or probably long gone and turned to waste. She had bouts of bleeding during pregnancy and too much fluid at delivery. Let's just say out of stubbornness she had me and had to say 'My case has turned to joy'

PS
I was even supposed to be bornthroway
