Yoruba_Omoge: Erik? that's not even my name lol.. I actually gave myself an English name while i was still in the secondary school because my name sounded so "intimate" and there was this "ugly" girl who liked calling me all the time, she corrupted the name and also mis-prounced it (same with alot of people), i was so annoyed hearing it from her, had to get myself that English name. (only have one legal name and it's native) before i use to hate it, later while growing up, i fell back inlove with it. I have warned all my friends never to call me by that english name again since it's not even in my birth cert. |

naijababe: Surely when i grow up, all my kids are going to have only native names and i am also not going to cut any of my daughter's hair, i want others to see and know that it's possible for black women to also have long hair. I just want them to see themselves equal and comfortable in their skin and with their names. 1 Like 1 Share |

naijababe: Muslim oh Christian o, they are still foreign, if bible could be translated to Yoruba, Igbo, Bini, Hausa e.t.c Language, then you can take christian/Muslim e.t.c sounding native name after conversion. Saul to Paul in the new testament are still Hebrew names, so why should i change my native name to a foreign name because i got baptized? |
Re: Africans With Foreign Names by honeric01(m): 4:16pm On Jul 20, 2012 |

Re: Africans With Foreign Names by honeric01(m): 4:17pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Yoruba_Omoge: Too intimate, not for everyone.. since i have been on planet earth, i have only come across 1 person bearing my name. |
Re: Africans With Foreign Names by honeric01(m): 4:20pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
Yoruba_Omoge: Do you know how people end up with foreign last name? (at least this generation), it's because they give themselves foreign names, then their kids start bearing that name instead of their ancestral names. |
Re: Africans With Foreign Names by honeric01(m): 4:22pm On Jul 20, 2012 |
