What is this? Olaniyi is a beautiful name in Yoruba. didn't she know that we have differences in our cultures before she went ahead to marry him. let her husband give his son a good name he want meanwhile she can also have a good Igbo name on d side for him. 8 Likes |

Let her explain in plain terms her reason especially that it has a different meaning in igbo that is not good. And as an igbo lady, that meaning will keep ringing in her head Everytime she calls him that. They can both agree on another name. There are many beautiful Yoruba names to replace the one causing problems. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

So that is why the marriage will end because of a common name? I don’t understand this generation 3 Likes |

ImaIma1:she has already done that, bt the man has already made up his mind, my sister says she can't imagine calling her child that name or hearing another person calls him the name, knowing what it means in Ibo... |

PSTEMMA1960: Olaniyi means wealth has worth in Yoruba.so that means is the mother that will do the explanation to people that want to know. In marriage, the father is the head, which your sister is suppose to be aware of, and in yoruba culture there's room for more than one name for a child and so if possible both of them can choose a christian name for the child. But for your sister to be adamant towards her husband, then I think she is planning to live alone or pushing her husband to begin to think of alternative ( you know what I mean). So she had better put her marriage before tradition or culture. 4 Likes |

Nawa oo Never knew olaniyi means a bad thing in Igbo. She should simply explain to him what that spelling signifies in their dialect and ask it shouldnt be the one everybody will call him, it may just be among the long list of names not his first name thats all She doesn't need the 'over the dead body stance' not necessary at all Besides I believe the pronunciation is quite different from the igbo one, there are also other variations of ola the husband can choose from not necessarily olaniyi. As far as I am concerned for couple who understand each other, this shouldnt be an issue at all. 1 Like 1 Share |

PSTEMMA1960: It is her child too. The husband doesn't have monopoly on issues like naming. She married a man that is not flexible or someone she can reason with, she has to carry her cross and call her son "destroyer" for the rest of her life or give him another name and call him that. 1 Like |

This is a minor issue but can lead to a serious issue due to the ethnic differences, I have seen where it caused a problem. The woman went ahead to rename her children because she wasn't a Muslim and it lead to separation between the husband and the wife. Coming to your own sisters issue, was she not aware that such things might arise before agreeing to marry outside her ethnicity? Let her embrace the challenges and let the man name his child..Though it will be difficult for her but with time she will adapt..The name olaniyi in Igbo, is something else...it means doomed. 1 Like |

This post is hilarious sha.. It seems too good to be true. The husband seem like an adamant fellow. Why don't they just give him a name from the Bible or an English name. This name should be his first name. And they both are free to give him their own preferred tribal name as an addition. I doubt this will work though. Adamant people don't change perse they only become worse in marriage especially if they are men. 2 Likes |

PSTEMMA1960: What's your sister problem If he names his child "olaniyi" Which you and I knows that it's a yoruba name and it means something good in yoruba land She should go ahead and name that same child the translation of the name in ibo land Or better still give that child an ibo name of her choice It is now left for her to be calling the child any of his meantioned names That child is expected to have up to 7 names Though I know that this question is a joke anyway, lol 1 Like |
