yes but the name is mostly giving to a child that survives after the mother may have lost previous children. The Thief in this case is referred to a stealer of joy or wealth. Most of these cases usually involve a child being continually sick and dies at infancy(2months -2yrs)Other variants is UGELA which means you're not going any more. It's like the yoruba name ikuforiji.

But the Ogiator is a surname here. UGELA can be MOLOMO/KOLOMO. The belief was that the children are Ogbanjes and if you give them pet names or beg them, they will bluff and still go. So, they are given disgraceful names to shame them, so theirs cults will chase them away.
The Yorubas name some DOG, THIEF etc too but I think it is an old tradition before people knew about Sickle cell.

The intrinsic behind giving.

Or the Igbo variant of Ogbanje which explains 'The last child who survives after most of her elder siblings died at infancy or at birth'

Yeah and the Ogiator individual may likely be the fathe or grandfather not herself. Since Ogiator is her surname, the original bearer is who we're referring to here.
