thanks , i've found this site some month ago. from there i got the name nyema (its not there anymore).

Zina and Zikora are Igbo Names? What are their meanings?

in many names i see "nye" - what does this mean? is it igbo or ikwerre or both?

Hi

well , my husband told me some names that i could not even pronounce it myself. than he told me names like "chioma". but for me thats a typicall igbo-name, as many igbos in europe use that name for their babygirls.

my husband left PH many years ago. by this age he was too young to deal with this subject. and i believe that some values are becoming more important with the age and maturity.

as it is so difficult to find an nice name (both for nigeria and europe) i asked now his brother for support. i hope he will consult his family to compile a list with names and meanings for me.

of course it would be much easier to find an igbo name. there are many that i could choose, but its the wish of my husband (and his family) to name the child by an ikwerre name (or an name that is known as a name that is normally used by ikwerre people). if i could enlarge my search criteria my favorites would be:

Girl
Amalu (short form from Amaluchukwu)
Kilali (pearl - kalabar ?!)
Chinani (i've seen this name in the other thread)
Chinua
Nneka

Boy
Amadi
Emeka
Chinedu
Obinna

the only ikwerre-name i know that i like is: Nyema (but i am not even shure if it is for girl or boy and if it is ikwerre?!)

i was never in naija and i hope i will go to visit there soon (latest 2010). but i know that a name is very important for a child because it is one of the few connections to his roots.

Hi again

In the other thread (igbo names) i found the name Kilali as a Rivers Name. To which tribe does this name belong?

Did somebody ever hear about the name "Amalu" (Short form of Amaluchukwu). I think its an igbo name, abi?

Zhea

any ikwerre person here?

@tpia
in my culture its not allowed to name a baby after a living person. its like to wish this person death.

well , thats the biggest part of the problem. no suggestions from his side till now.

Hi

Tell this my husband! He want our baby to be named by an ikwerre name. he will never ever accept an igbo name! as he told me there are differences.
