PrettyCindy: I know two person who had to change their name; one was formally Maureen while the other was Endurance. In some cases people are told by their pastors to to change and even provide them with new names. My name does not have a negative meaning but I am still contemplating changing it due to personal reasons I will not divulge here. I have not fully made up my mind yet but I have been thinking about it. When I told my brother of my possible intent to change my name, he said he will equally change his name too, lol |

I don't believe in that nonsense of whether a name follows one or not.Am an Ibo guy.I v cn one dt answered 'Egobekee',meaning 'foreign money or currency',yet til her death she nva had money nor did her children.God is d one dt guides everybody.Ok,if u wnt to be Mr President,y nt answer Goodluck Jonathan,or Rochas Okorocha 4 governor.D person dt s sayn dt 'Patience or Endurance' is nt good is really deformed upstairs.What s d name of Mr President's wife?Dame 'Patience' Jonathan.What about former American President George Bush' secretary of state,'Condolezza' Rice,dt 'Condolezza' is derived from 'CONDOLENSCE',yet she rose up 2 b d most powerful woman on earth.Anytn dt God says dt u would be,not even ordinary name can change it.Misery can come upon anyone no matter d name,tribe,belief,religion or language,even death itself. |

yr name does nt determine yr stake in life. Who in life has neva endured 1 tin or d other in life and y does even d bible preach patience as a virtue. Georg bush wx nt president of d bush. Condoleza rice neva sold rice. Endurance as a name wil only inspire u to endure whteva plight or situation u find yr sef & hope for d best which wil definitely come if it is meant to be becos even people who bear blessin & riches wil definitely av to endure tryin tyms. Even if yr name literaly means some negatives, how does it control d spiritual or metaphysical.... Nigerians tend to be more whyt dan d britons... And our pastors tend to be more catholic dan d pope. |

Since when did linda connote snake or serpent? Why are we so intellectually lazy even with all the cheap access to google? Why are we like this? Why? Even maureen does not mean darkness! It simply connotes black. Are Africans not black? God help us! The real agents of darkness are those that distort facts and prevent access to truth and the freedom to engage in critical reasoning. One of such people are the so called 'pastors' of this age! |

As for me, i believe that your name is your identity and believe me, your name most times represent you before your actual appearance. So if your name will not represent you well in your absence pls do away with such name. and again names can have spiritual bearing on the carier. So we need to be very careful with the name we answer. at least you committed no offence if you change a name that can ursher-in bad luck. |

Gbam! Well spoken,abi well written. A name becomes a burden when we allow it, and ascribe more meaning to it. slimyem: a name is a defining identity...nothing more. |
