But names like ebuka, nonso, emeka are just short forms. When you put chukwu in front of them the proper meanings surface.

This is mostly trash, the names aren't complete... Eg. Emeka is actually chukwuemeka or nnaemeka which means God has done well or father has done well
Nonso is actually chukwunonso which implies God is near....stop misinterpreting my Nobel language and get your meaning correct

I know you are trying to have fun but I had better correct some to avoid "had i know" in the future.

Ebuka short form of Chukwuebuka = God is great / God is the greatest
Nonso short form Chukwunonso = God is near / God is closeby
Emeka short form of Chukwuemeka (God has done well/good) /Nnaemeka (in this case Nna signifies God the father)
Ogonna = father's favor.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong

Op, make sure you write those names in full next time . Names like chukwunonso: God is near or close.Chukwuebuka God is big and not fat. Chukwuemeka: God is good.
