Help[Opinions] Re: African names
in reply to a message by Ohad Yigal
Back when I worked at the public library, a family that had moved from Nigeria came in to get library cards. I always remember them because when I looked at the names on the applications, I asked the father if they were Igbo (as I had seen one of them on this website before) and he was super surprised that I had recognized it. He asked me how I knew and I told him about my interest in names.
Father: Temple
Daugher: Ucheoma
Son: Ngozi
Son: Ndubisi
Son: Ugochuisuw

I feel like I've met someone named Ucheoma or seen it in passing somewhere (though maybe it was here!). Nice to know it's Nigerian.

is Temple a translated name? I know of a lot of Nigerians with names like Godspower and other english names translated from Yoruba

I don't know. I wish I had asked him more questions about it at the time. I did think it was strange that he would have an English word for a name and none of his children do.
