Help[Facts] Re: What is the most common first name in Africa
in reply to a message by Fiona MacCool
Hey Fiona,
I've had no previous exposure to things Malawian, but just looking at a coupla articles on the Net, it looks like they tend to use English first names (Charles, Dan, Bob, etc.) and African last names (probably in the Chichewa language). So picking a first name like "Joseph" would work.
As for Africa in general, I'd be inclined to think that "Mohammed" in its various spellings was the most common first name.
