Igbo Male Baby Name For 'god's Own' by kellybaba(m): 9:13pm On May 01, 2011 |
Hello Dear nairalanders, One of my person's just delivered a Bouncing Baby Boy and we are looking for an igbo name that fits this English translation: GOD's OWN Some have suggested the following: Chinwe(sounds female) Nkechi(sounds female too) Ihechukwu(i understand this means 'light of God' and not "God's own" as we originally thot) Dont know if anyone got a perfect idea? Thanks |

It must not be Gods own. We ve got contemporary Igbo names Chikayima» Sochima, Munachi, onumsinachi(my joy is from God), Chiemuo, Chukwudum, Chukwuekeka etc. |

kellybaba: Why are you rejecting all the names been given to you? |
Re: Igbo Male Baby Name For 'god's Own' by kellybaba(m): 7:33pm On May 02, 2011 |
Phate07: I am not rejecting the names but if you read my thread,the request was very specific.we are not just looking for names. |

Name the baby 'mugugypan'for crying out loud, most native names are unisex names if they are based on what they mean. God's own could apply to a girl as well as a boy. Nkechi captures the meaning far better than any other name. Chikena. |

I know of guys that bear the name Chinenye and Chinwe that you so rejected on gender basis. Ihechukwu and Okechukwu are even OK. If u still haven't gotten your best pick, there a lot of Igbo students & professors u can consult from. |

I don't think u r a core Igbo person, otherwise, u shld ve bn able 2 differentiate d tone in igbo words. Anyway, d name u want 4 d b.boy is any of these: Ihechukwu, Ifechukwu, Nkechukwu. Similarly, Ihechi, Ifechi, Nkechi. U may leave Nkechi since it sounds feminine 2 u. Note: Ihe cld mean light or illumination and also thing or something, e.g. Ihem, wch means my thing. Imo pple say ihe, Anambra say ife. So understand d difference in d tones. D/4 any of dose names means God's thing or God's something or God's own. |
