Hello to all of you.

As some of you might know I am married to an Igbo man. Beginnig of next year I am going to deliver a baby boy. My husband and I decided, that both of us should write a list of about 10 to 15 names we could possibly dub our baby. And then we will share our thoughts.

My husband as well as his sibling and friends (I know) all have an Igbo name plus an "international" name. And I really like the sound of the Igbo names. So I would like to go for the same for our baby. I would really appreciate if someone could help me with the Igbo part. I am looking for something like "With God everything is possible" or "God can do everything" or similar.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Best,
Geraldine

Chiamanda- God will not/never fail

The only name that fits your description that I can remember now is:

Ifeanyichukwu-nothing is impossible with God

Gera1980, I asked you of something in the past, but you never got back to me.

@Gera.
You may give him my son's name-Osisioma.
Osisioma is a tree of life, fruithful tree, tree that provides shelter, tree that provides branches, tree that provides wealth etc.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions - i like all of them

@nusdog: Have you had another name then? I don't remember your name at all. I thought I always answered everything. What was it you asked me? If you don't want to talk about it here, please send me an e-mail.

@all: What do you think about Chukwuka or Chima?

call him Ikechukwu.meaning power of God.dats my name,

'Okwudili' is a nice name, but watch out as most of the Okwudilis' I know are stubborn.

There are a host of names that you can choose. It's best to have a special reason to name your child a certain name. Here are some names:

Ugonnaya (his fathers eagle or pride)
Chukwuma/Chima (God knows)
Obinnaya (his fathers heart or mind)
Uchenna (the will of the father)
Ikenna (his fathers strength)
Emeka (well doing)
Chiemeka/Chukwuemeka (God has done well)
Olisa (God)
Chigoziri (God blessed)
Ikebuuche (The strength that is wisdom)
Enyinnaya (his fathers friend)
Kelechi (thank God)

Traditional names:
Okeke
Nwankwo
Okonkwo
Nworie
Okorie
Nwafor
Okafor
Amarinze
Nwosu
Osita

The list could go on forever,

op the two names you have are great names.                               Chukwukadibia/ God is greater than other gods.               Chimaobim/ God knows my heart.

Strides: op the two names you have are great names.                               Chukwukadibia/ God is greater than other gods.               Chimaobim/ God knows my heart.

mba nu, which gods? chukwukadibia = God is greater than 'dibia' (native or orthodox doctor). that's my name nd briefly indicates faith in God to heal despite application of the doctor's medicine, etc.

As a custodian of Igbo culture let me give you some suggestion...Nwadei...behold a child. Zikora...show the world. Chimazu...God knows all. Ikeolisa...power of God. Uzochukwu...the way of God. Ikem...my strenght. Nzube...my thoughts. Ozichi...
