mariahAngel:My sister, that is the most common na. I asked a Nairalander what his username Omiobo meant and he told me"monkey water". Obowunmi says his name means "I feel like owning a monkey." 1 Like |

naptu2:wow. Didn't even know this. I've had this cocky expression whenever anyone tell me his name is Athanasius or even Donatus. The ones I usually smirk at are the ones who tell me "my name is Prosper". I usually say within me like your parents took one good look at you and knew you're are failure then named you Prosper just to massage their ego and make them feel better about birthing a failure ![]() This things with names is something else. Hehehehe. |

religiously typing, all days are attached to names given to new born babies. on a neutral ground, both the parents have their own names to give the baby. as a parent, find a suitable and beautiful names for your baby. names that when called outside, it will sound beautiful to the ears and even when outside of the country, it would be pronounceable. well, as for me, I already have 6 different names for my female unborn kids and 6 for male. names that you will hear and love. 1 Like |

As a parents, stop naming your kids after events that has happened in your life or past. It is the Child’s fate, not yours, this is nothing but selfishness to name a child based on a parents past experiences. |

joseph1832: Ekun means crying/tears e. g ekun e ti po ju (your crying is too much) . But in that context, "Ekun" means "sorrow" and Dayo means "becomes joyful". In Yoruba land, every family has prefix name like Ekun, Ade, Ola, Oye etc. due to what had/is happened/happening to them or their ancestors. We called Ekun(tiger) in my area. Your "ekun" means tears/sorrow. Same spelling but different pronunciation. 1 Like 1 Share |

Some people just name their kids without reserching for deep meanings and its significance The annoying names I see becoming fluent lately is e.g Hephzibah, ask them where they got it from, they'll its from the bible, ask of her significance in the bible, I get no reply, this is a mother to a wicked kind of Israel, that's all, and they don't even know this, I mean, there are better names in the bible na, Or is it Vashti, the disgraced queen before Queen Esther, ask them why give their daughter that name, reply is because it sounds nice, imagine ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |
