Re: Dido and Dimosthenes

Dido is a male name in Bulgaria. I would suspect that child has parents from the Balkans. See:

And Dimosthenes seems to be a common way to spell this name in modern Greece, so I don't think it's "misspelled"

Efeoghenetobore is probably from a Nigerian language, as both Efeoghene and Tobore come up separately as names of Nigerians when you Google.

thanks I know I was being a bit facetious for many, but I didn't know about Dido and Dimosthenes. I kind of guessed about Efeoghenetobore because there's quite a few long African names in there but usually if you googled them it came up. I never thought to divide it. It still seems like a bit of a mouthful to decide to put the two names together :)
You're welcome!
