My grandpa died few days before my birth. His name was Simon. I was then named Simon Akubo (Babatunde) (Baba has returned)

My mother had a dream where she saw a man (angel) who told her that the foetus in her womb is a special child, through which justice shall be served to her mockers. So I was given a corresponding name to serve as notice, though my dad wanted something entirely different for a name.

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

So you won't mind then

This name has two different meanings 1. The one that came when things were in abundance 2. The one that came during mourning Which one is yours? It's not an "if you know you know" something

There's also another version, a child born during festivity / celebration.
