I agree with you on the names with meanings, i would prefer to have a name that meant something special, or the child to be named after someone special.
It is not just nigeria, i have 5 names including my surname!!
my friend at school had a Spanish mother and a Gambian father and her name was a mixture of both countries and she had 6 names!!!

chique
is ur bro's name really blaze?! Does he like it, and does it get a good reaction, because i really wanna call my son Blaze. also, is it spelt BLAZE or BLAIZE.
also @ Iyallah, i love the name Blaque!! its really pretty!!
It's spelt Blaze. I'm not with him every day so I'm not the best person to ask but ppl dont reall say much about his name. I'm sure ppl do complimnent him sometimes.
To join in with the rest of you - I have 5 names. First, 2 middle and a double barreled surname! Bit of a mouthfull!!! The names are quite long too so it takes ages to write the whole thing!! 34 letters all together! I remember trying to learn how to spell them allas a child!

Saddam sounds good as a boy's name smoking-devil, the way the Iraqi's chant Saddam! Saddam!! ^%*)%$)() Saddam!!!, sounds like a catchy chorus niceone.gif
Yoruba girl's names:
Jadesola [ JAH-DAY-SAW-LAH] meaning: Emerge into wealth. Olubunmi [ OH-LOO-BOON-ME] meaning: God bestowed upon me. Omosalewa [ OR-MORE-SHAH-LAY-WAH] meaning: Child chose to come to this home.
Yoruba boy's names:
Adebayo [ AH-DAY-BAR-YOR] meaning: One who arrives to meet joy. Olusegun [ OH-LOO-SHARE-GOON] meaning: God is victorious. Adewale [ AH-DAY-WAH-LAY] meaning: One who arrives home.
Other girls names:
Efe, Onos, Ibiwari, Alero etc. These namescome from the people's of the Niger delta area, ie the Urhobos, Ijaws, Itsekiris etc. I don't know their meanings since I don't speak the languages.
Nkechi, Ngozi, Obiageli, Amaka, Onyebuchi: are all Igbo ( Ibo ) girls' names. Since I don't speak Igbo, I can't tell the meanings either.
Halima, Zainobe. Hauwa are girls names from northern Nigeria, common among the Hausa, Fulani and Kanuri peoples.

Amber,
I was on my way back from my mother's hometown when I came across the name of asmall quiet town inGeorgia that intrigued me--Shenandoah( pronounced, Shin-nan-do-ah). I know that this name is Native American. I've mentioned some other Native American name on a prior posts that I like Cheyenne.
I was also looking at the Former Miss Universe--Dayanara Torres.I kind of like that name as well. I'm not sure if Dayanara is a Latina name or somebody else's name and then there was a name of the first name of my former professor, Soraya. I'm going to assume that this name is Iranian/Iraqi because | |
