Re: African Names
in reply to a message by Katie
This is like asking, "What are your favourite European names?" It's difficult to answer, especially as I've never dedicated the time to looking through the list of names for every single African language, as I haven't with every single European language.I did, however, inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's books, make a little list of my favourite Nigerian names.
Adannaya
Amarachi
Chiamaka
Ebele
Funanya
Ngozi
Nneka
Onyekachi
Ekene
Emeka
Enyinnaya
Obi
Ottilie

You know, I said above that my friend might name her daughter Adanna, but I think I might be wrong and it is Adannaya. He married a man from Nigeria, and I love many of the names in their family. Anannaya is one of the prettiest I have heard him say aloud.
