rasputinn: And what makes you think those in the senate house are normal or well groomed people? because some of them kill, steal, loot, rig their way into that post does not mean they are a good citizen or had a good upbringing from their parents. I still maintain, it's a total disaster for any parent to name his or her son after a beer name (That's wickedness). imagine someone bearing Small stout Lokpobiri big stout Lokpobiri guilder Lokpobiri star Lokpobiri fanta Lokpobiri goldspot Lokpobiri shepe Lokpobiri ogogoro Lokpobiri Alomo bitters Lokpobiri yoyo bitters Lokpobiri paraga Lokpobiri oguro Lokpobiri gordon spark Lokpobiri the list goes on |

Wait a minute, there's nothing wrong with the name Heineken. The name originates from the Netherlands. The founder of the company is named Gerard Adriaan Heineken. but what connection do we have with the dutch? |
Re: Some Weird Names Parents Used To Name Their Kids. by InkedNerd(f): 5:49pm On Sep 09, 2010 |
bawomolo: I trying to tell honeric01 that that its not really a funny name. Its a Dutch name, the founder of the beer Heineken was Dutch so I don't see it as a weird name. Its like if you see someone named Kellogs, Honda, Toyota, Armani, Dell, Sotheby's, etc. Those are all names that have become commercialized and turned into brands. Had they no have been famous and well know companies/brands I doubt we'd thing they were weird. |
Re: Some Weird Names Parents Used To Name Their Kids. by bawomolo(m): 6:18pm On Sep 09, 2010 |
Inked_Nerd: i think what makes it weird is that most of these parents do not know the origin or history behind the names. |
Re: Some Weird Names Parents Used To Name Their Kids. by InkedNerd(f): 6:30pm On Sep 09, 2010 |
bawomolo: Who's most people? Do you mean the people on Nairaland or non-Nairaland people? |

Nigerian parents are turning into something else in giving names. My neighbor actually named their son 'Delight', am sure the boy would change his name when he grows up. Too many funny names, |

honeric01: This is by far the most hilarious post on this thread so far!! Schnapps Lokpobiri (with seamans as his middle name) lol Other wicked names on this thread include; Scholar a.k.a Scholarstica Roma a.k.a Romanus Policap a.k.a Polinus a.k.a poli Cletus Silvanus Nico a.k.a Nicodemus Testimony Ignatius Livinus Lovina Paulina Angela Felicia Vero a.k.a Veronica Hyginus Attanacius Sylvanus Johnbull Bullus (this was the name of our mechanic way back) Commissioner Tuesday Thankgod Limejuice (I think this dude is from Port-harcourt. What about Ogbolosinger) Independence (lol) Goddey lol I think some parents are just purely wicked with these names. In port-harcourt for example, I know a couple of kids named; BOY. Yep!! Boy. Thats his name. I wonder if the parents were too lazy to think up a name or what. And that isnt like a pet-name o!! |
