Re: Shandurai and other African female names
You're right about the meanings telling stories. So interesting. Abeni -- love it, so cute -- a very happy name in sound and meaningAzubuike -- it sounds strong tooEkwueme -- is this a girl's name? Or does the "he" in the meaning mean God / a god?Enitan -- "person of story" -- does that mean the bearer is a character in a story, or she tells stories? Neat to ponder.Lindiwe -- Looooooove this oneNkemdilim -- Not crazy about the meaning or what I think is the sound -- but the sound could grow on meNkiruka -- not feeling itOmolara -- pretty and yes, a beautiful meaningWorknesh -- Since I am here avoiding doing work this one creeps me out a little. Thanks for the list. I'd only ever heard of Abeni and Lindiwe before.

Ekwueme is male, so it could refer to the person who bears it.
