My Igbo name remains the sweetest Igbo name of all time... Chihurumnanya, but since I am male I changed it to Chukwuhurumnanya. In ancient Igbos a mans name don't start with Chi, rather Chukwu. A womans name can end with both chukwu or chi but cant start with it. Example... Chima=female, chukwuma=male. again some names that are 99% used by female has male users too. Example... Chioma=female, Chukwuoma=male. Chiamaka=female, Chukwuamaka=male. Igbo name abuses are common in abia state and part of ebonyi. In abia u see a man bearing Chinyere or Chioma. 8 Likes |

Horayce: I'm igbo and I find igbo names quite annoying to be honest. I prefer names from the deep south and the middle belt. Neutral & tongue friendly names like Kalada,Rotnen, Tamuno any day of the week for me.U sound annoying so am not surprised. 14 Likes |
