Kids on nairaland.

There is nothing wrong with all the names listed by posters. People may pronounce them with the wrong accent, thats all.

Some of the local or religious names have beautiful meanings.

We are seriously losing it if we think foreign names are cool.

Even the aliases on nairaland are cool and creative and I find names like Ileke-idi, Demdem,even Born2fuck as creative.

We all need to grow up
Re: Do People Still GiveTheir Babies These Funny Names? by sofat(m): 3:32pm On Jul 26, 2012
For ur information, these are good names- sule, short form of sulaiman, which is solomon in the bible. Lukman a precious name of a wise man in the quran called Enock in the bible. Yusuf and not yusufu, a prophet in the quran and Joseph in the bible... So make research b4 u post.
