Are You Expecting A Baby Here Are Good Igbo Names You Will Love by Built2last: 2:23pm On Feb 25, 2020 |
I am an advocate for cultural names. In all my travelled life and exposure, i have never seen a white man adopt the names of any other culture. Igbo parents should learn to give Igbo names to their children and care less if people can't pronounce it. If you cant pronounce mine, i cant pronounce yours too. Imagine if Chimamanda's parents gave her Rose Anderson or Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was named Yvonne cleopatra just to sound modern and please people. We must maintain our heritage. Are you yet to marry or expecting babies here are unique names. feel free to add yours and join me in the campaign for Igbo names. Name Gender Meaning Yobachi Unisex Ask God Yobachukwu Unisex Ask God Yobanna Male Ask the Father Yobaolisah Male Ask God Tobenna OrTobeolisa Male Keep praising God Sochima Unisex Only God knows Solumtobechukwu Male Praise the Lord/God with me Somadina Male May I not be alone. Somayina Male May I not travel (or sojourn) alone. Onaedo Female Gold or Priceless Jamuike Male Motivate me OR INSPIRE me OR Encourage me. Jideofor Male Stand with truth/evidence Golibe Unique Rejoice Ijeawele Female Safe journey. Cheluchi Female Wait onto God Chukwukadibia Female God is greater than magician Daluchi Female Thank God. Dilibe or Diribe Male May you be accessible/helpful to people, friends and families Solumetolisa Male Join me in praising the Lord. Fumnanya Female Love Me. 3 Likes |

Some igbo names are unisex,but it is common to accord name with 'chi' to females and 'chukwu to male Like Uchechi(female) uchechukwu(male)though both can still bear all. 3 Likes |
