Some 7 Names You Don't Want To Give Your Child In Nigeria
Firstly, this is Nigeria and there is the need to carefully review the
kind of names we give our children. We are a nation with a deep rooted
belief for culture and value. While many people prefer to give their
children foreign names, many people do not want to lose touch with the
culture we have tried to preserve for years.
That being said, there are some indigenous names you dare not name your child in this present age and day. Not only are these names bastardized, they have become a subject of ridicule amongst people. Some names in Nigeria depict stupidity and go on to portray the bearers of such names as people who are not smart and are naturally silly.
It should be known that the names you give a child go a long way in that child’s future. A child named after wealth could become immensely rich people would start to marvel at his or her success. Give a child a name that means bitterness and you would be surprised to see that child goes through trials and tribulations all through his life.
Without wasting much time, check out some of the names you may not want to name a child in Nigeria:
