Blazay:

Thank you ma pipo for your h-understanding.

Oh yes!
Please, nothing like:

Bonaventure. . . Misaventure. . .Paraventure.

All those 'adventure' names are not to be used.

Grandma names like "Gertrude". . . "Hazel". . ."Jemima". . . "Beaaaaaaaaaatric". . . ."Ed-ina". . . ."Doroti" 

World without end names. . ."Perpertual". . . 

Heavens forbid!

I can't stand English names. I was baptized in a Catholic church with that name called Helena. . . I have since gotten rid of it. Thanks to lost birth certificate. The useless name has gone on exile for ever. Thank you lord!

St Helen of Troy my arzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

lol

You don cancel so many names, oya suggest few names wey you like nao.

cexplorer:

I will name my children: Oluwaseyi, Oluwadarasimi, Oluwaferanmi, Oluwadamilare, Oluwadamilola, Oluwarantimi, Oluwafemi, Oluwaseun, Oluwatosin, Oluwaponmile, Oluwagbeminija, OpeOluwa, AanuOluwa, OgoOluwa, etc, which simply means that I will not give my children any name that does not have God attached! Why? Its my personal decision which also means that you can give your child any name of your choice and taste. However, religious leaders and teachers say that what name you call your child may influence his/her life negatively or positively too. That is why the name GOODLUCK is generally applauded as the power behind our Nigerian president's achievements!

Cool, means I'll have to add "Oluwa" to the former names I suggested.

@sweeti14, our names have changed to Oluwafabregas and Oluwafacebook!

^And what do those mean?

The name you give to your child matters a lot as it goes a long way to affect the child either negatively or positively. Pray about it and ensure the name has a positive conotation to it.

tpia@:

^And what do those mean?

Like most of the suggested names. . . . .

Aquin, Richard, Chelsea, Steph, Tanyia, Edina, Dorothy, Violet, Delvin, Nixon etc? ? ?

What do these names mean? ? ?

^^the person you were quoting listed names which have meanings in his/her language.

the ones you made up, what do[b] they [/b] mean?

lwkmd. . . . .walahi u don dey craze small small

No English names please!

I nor dey for 'colonio-religious' mentality abeg!

Most-def nothing with 'Olu'. . .'Chi'. . .'Osa'. . . and all that 'God this' and 'God-that' rubbish in them.

Sooooooooooooo archaic and trite!

All those LOCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL names of 'virtuous' standings DID not appear on the birth certificates either.

Such annoying names like 'Faith'. . .'Hope'. . . 'Endurance'. . . 'Courage'. . . 'Chastity'. . . .'Joy'. . .'Peace'. . .'Fortitude'. . .

Not to mention those houseboy and housegirl names of perpertual sufferings and long-suffering and endless 'maltreament' from step fathers and mothers or indentured servitude like . . . 'Boniface'. . . 'Donatooose'. . . 'Ignatoose'. . . 'Aloyshoose'. . . .

Oh! Days of the week and months of the year. . . .buuuuuuuuuuush names!


Soinday. . .
Moinday. . .

NO "TARDED" BIBLICAL NAMES EITHER. . . Samuel. . .Moses. . . Joshua. . .Peter. . . Sarah. . . Deborah. . . RUBBBBBBBBBBBISH!!!!

Hey Blazay there is nothing wrong with God names, he gave us the kids and all glory should belong to him. I agree with u on the rest except, some Bibilcal names and English names are okay.

I agree with u on this one my sista! Naijas tend to name Old school English names! My legal first name is English and old school! I been try to change or switch it with one of my others names, since I was little. Another thing I cant stand is if both of your parents are Edo, Delta, ebira,etc. your first name should not be Yoruba.

OP:
I know your question is futuristic but I named my children:


Breon--strength, chastity
Samuel---asked of God
Ariel---Lion/Lioness of God
Monique---counselor
Emmanuel---God with us
David---beloved of God

It's amazing how their names fit their personalities! Names are important. Naming a person the name meaning of "fool"
is like calling/speaking that into h/her life because words have much power.

Do people still name their Kids after likes of Abacha, Judas, Hitler, Anini etc
