1. "OGHOGHO", especially if you live in the USA. The little girl that carries this name will be called "HO" all through her school days and maybe beyond. 2. "DEJEUNER", as given by some ghetto mothers who know next to nothing. The name is French for "BREAKFAST". A girl that answers this name will always be propositioned by her male peers who may know the meaning. "Dejeuner, can I have you for breakfast" 3. "SALAMI", a name for a variety of sausage. 4. "OWOLABI", who ever gave birth to money? 5. "TOKUNBO", arrogant, stupid, and outdated. 6. "AJIBABI", who wants to wake up to misfortune? But, of course that is not the meaning of the name. Its just that it could be interpreted so. That is the result of the richness of the Yoruba language. 2 Likes |

With time no be person tell her to retrace from her path. 2 Likes |

One reason I dislike English names is because even the bearers can't pronounce the words properly. Take the name Patience, for example, which should be pronounced 'Patience but is pronounced Pa'tience by the bearer no less. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. How can someone not pronounce their own name properly? Best we stick to what we know and are conversant with, IMPO. |

afam4eva: I've said it that my children will never bear an English name. Many people just bear names without knowing what they mean. I agree so much !!! My first and middle name is Dara Alina... I am not Nigerian nor technically African.. ( Black, Trinidadian and Venezuelan) .. My mother didn't want me to have a ghetto akata name nor a stoosh european name.. She decided what I should embodied ( Beautiful Gift) ... She translated my name in Swahilli it means " the beautiful one" and Alina means Gift... So she remixed it.. But I love the Yoruba meaning Oluwadarasimi = God is good !!!! I hate when people call me Dora.. I am not a Mexican cartoon My Mom did well afterall !!! 2 Likes |
