Oh, it's not so bad. It's manageable if you break it up into little chunks, but it's not like the kid would go by the full name all the time. There are plenty of viable nicknames - Ken, Ned, even Chuck, based on previous examples. It's a perfectly fine name, no shame using it if you want to.
Looks like what you get when you smash your keyboard. What, you seriously like this name? This name is considered absurd in America, sorry to those in other places where this is common.
I love the name- it looks sick in writing but it would be super hard to pronounce without practice.
Point of correction Ekenedilichukwu means thanks or praise be to God. It's the most beautiful name in the world and you don't need to pronounce it fully, you can just call me ekene, which means praise or thanks.
I guess it’s pronounced the way it’s spelled...? But yeah, like another commenter said, just call the kid Ned.
Oh dear god...
I think the right interpretation of the name Ekenedilichukwu is Thanks be to God not all praise be to God. Ekenedilichukwu is my first name, I am a female and I know the circumstances surrounding my birth warranted my name.
For the short form of the name people call me Eky also spelt Ekie, Kenny depending on who and mood.
It looks perfectly pronounceable to me. I mean, since African languages were transcribed by Europeans using European phonetics, just break it down... It's only intimidating-looking since it's so long and unfamiliar. Eh-KEH-neh-DEE-lee-CHOOK-woo, is my guess. As for spelling, this would actually be a great name for kids to learn off of - since it's (probably) phonetic, you can just point to any part of the name (ex. 'chu'), pronounce, and hey presto! They correctly learn that 'ch' makes the 'ch' sound, and 'u' makes the 'oo' sound. Honestly, un-anglicized Irish names are WAY harder. Even the earlier 'Aleluia' example is less spelling-friendly, since your kid is gonna have to learn that in every case except his name, the 'y' sound is not supposed to be spelled using an 'i'. That being said, no, don't use it, please. Just, no. Ekene, maybe.
I don't really know what to think of this name. I can't pronounce it. This is the longest name I've seen ever. I guess as a nickname you could use Ken or Ekene.
What would you shorten it to?
Well. This is one of the most interesting names I've seen on this website as of yet. Although, you're right, it does sound nice when you say it out loud. It's when you have to spell it - that's where the problem is.
I like the meaning, but I certanly feel sorry for the poor little kid when he's learning to spell "Ekenedilichukwo". As for how it's pronounced, I'm going to guess "eh-ken-dill-ee-chew-koo-oh", which actually sounds nice when said out loud. If that is how it's pronounced.
I'd almost rather be named "Aleluia". It's the same meaning really--just that Aleluia's Hebrew, and a whole lot easier to spell. :)
This is a lovely name! If there were a shorted version of this name, I'd take it!Other Igbo names are also nice, and most of the longer names have short forms. I suppose you could chop it off at Ekene or Ekenedil if you wanted to.
HeeHeeHee, FUNNY!
Good luck teaching your child how to spell their own name. I'm gonna have a go at pronouncing it and saying 'ee-KEN-ed-illy-choo-kwoo'. Of course that is purely based on a guess. But it sounds like a lovely name even so.
Well, I think anyone can agree that this is certainly a unique name. I probably wouldn't name my kid this, but if you offered me a million dollars, I would and I would call him Ned.
If I could pronounce it, I might have given it a good review. As it is - WHAT?
Anyone want to guess on the pronunciation? The meaning of this name is nice.
