Thanks for this insight
Had a close friend during service by the name Chioma. Always found it difficult to address him by that. Most times I'd just go with "Onyem meaning My Guy"

And you're right; he's from Abia State!

You did agree that if he beared Chukwuoma, you will hardly notice that its exactly same with chioma. You will feel very free to call him Chukwuoma

Madam,where are u from?

Blizzyblinkzy: Ngozichukwu - blessings of God.
Chijindum - God holds my life.
Amarachi - The grace of God.
Ihechi - Property of God.
Chukwuka - God is the greatest.
Chinyere - God giveth.
Ijeoma - Safe journey.
Chidinma - God is good.
Chibueze - GoD is king.

Ihechi is actually Iheechi=light of God.
Ijeoma in this context is not safe journey, cos the baby just came and isnt dying yet so y safe journey?
Ijeoma in the name context is ' Good or fruitful voyage' that is to say the baby is on earthly journey of fruitfulness or goodness in the family and d society.

berrystunn:

IHEOMA HAHAHAH IS GOOD THINGS
IHECHUKWU IS THINGS OF GOD

Ihe=something or things as u said. and
Ihe= Light or luminance .
So its light of God in some cases.
