Lol. . . Those names sounded funny to me. .. P.S: You skipped Boniface.
grin grin grin

I think Boniface is a name given to angry looking babies...those ones that refuse to smile no matter how much they are tickled. Enjoy your day.

Cake ke when they aren't Oyinbos.

The Ada is kinda understandable cos it has a lot of variance.
Adadinma, Adaobi, Adaeze, Adaugo, Adanna, etc first daughter of ...... Apparently, she's daddy's first daughter here. When she grows up, na to insist on just Ada remain grin

Come to the Christian northern region of Nigeria and see how they do Bible study to find names for their kids. It is common to find names like Leviticus,Hulda, Zephaniah,Ezra, Habakkuk, Exodus',etc over there. I have met someone with full name "Genesis Exodus".�....Nice and interesting people tho.

I know someone named Winnie Mandela and I cannot quite remember her siblings names...whether Isaac Newton, Socrates, etc.

Then I know someone on my street who named her children...Light, Greatness and Laughter.

I have seen: Heaven (girl), Wonderful and Majesty (brothers). I begin to wonder what religion is turning people to!!! These people are living faith members, infact, plenty funny names that I can't remember.

When we have names like Olamide, Ayomiposi, Damilola, Nkechi, Ngozi, Iyimide, Inioluwa and so on. Sweet pea names.

I have been wondering why someone will give birth and name the child 'HEAVEN".

I honestly tought it was just me that noticed this new phenomena of names, I've seen a man that named his kids, wealth, prosperity, harvest and plentious. Just hoping the wife doesn't bring another to the world cos i can't imagine wat else he will name the kid.
As for me nothing beats a good igbo name like:
Odumegwu
Agumba
Mbadiwe
Mbakwe
Olaedo
Ezemba
Ojiugoeze
Chimamanda
Yeah, that's exactly what am going to call my kids when they start coming.
What does Olaedo mean?

Sounds like Yoruba.

A friend's child is called GARIM, an abbreviation for God's Annointing Rests in Me

A cousin just gave birth on New Yrs day, Baby's name is 'Lifted'


I'm igbo and I cherish sweet igbo names
Chizitera - God sent
Mma - beauty
Somadina- may I never be alone
Esomchukwu/Esomchi - I'm following God
I used to love Kosisochukwu & Kamsiyochukwu but its become too common these days. Every igbo family has a Kosi or Kamsi, and like my friend will say, she's yet to meet a Kosi that's not stubborn! Lol
