Re: NY Times article on English names in Zimbabwe
Interesting. I used to know a Zimbawean girl whose name was Patience, apparently her sister was named Faith while her two brothers had Zimbewean names. She explained to me that it was because in Zimbawe it was considered important for a name to have a meaning, and there aren't many English male names that have a clear meaning.
