Do you believe that you are your name?I am one of those people who believe that you are your name and your name is you.....some people as as evil as the names they bear......
Does your name challenge you?Mine does and its positive...
Some people just name their children after others or just because the name sounds nice without doing a back ground check.....
Imagine a family that has 'death' in their last name and every year they keep losing someone and are blaming their enemies!
My native name is a big challenge and sometimes i wonder why i was given...It simply means ''if you can do it i will do it better''..That is why when someone does something,i find myself always wanting to do it better,not in a negative way but challenged to be better.......
Are you your name?

DeleteYes o i am my name on this blog...Goodness and Mercy has been following me bumper to bumpest. In the real, i have done a change of name at d age of 15 to a very beautiful name from d bible.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe there's power in any given name. So parents on this blog give beffiting names to children. How can someone be answering "Locomotor", "Actor", "Conservation"....hian!

DeleteHow many of u use ur rel namea

@Tenth
DeleteSo your phone number is fake?

So why do you attack anonymous when everybody is anonymous?
It beats me why someone will know that her name is "snake" (e.g. Linda) and still answer it. Or "wave"; e.g. Jenifer. and when you see their behavior, it is snake, as in agwo. They are swayed like the wave they bear.
ReplyDeleteMost people shorten their names to sound what they think is modern; e.g. Elizabeth will change to lizzy
Philomina changes to Filly
Appolonia changes to Pills or Pilly
Even when the names mean somethings good.
Beautiful native names like Nkeiruka; what is ahead is better is trifled with and never answered. What a shame that we in Nigeria like everything foreign.
Jennifer is celtic. it means heavenly vision. i prefer my igbo name though.

My native name means “God has created me” while my first name means “pure”. I think my entire life revolves around these names. First I have had too many experiences for my age and I have suffered much but in everything I come out because God has created me for something and until I achieve it, no matter the trials, nothing can destroy me. Secondly I am a pure person in my thoughts and in my lifestyle. I am a spiritual person who loves the Bible. Somehow I believe my life is my name.
ReplyDeleteMy tribal name means a woman that has come with Good things. I believe it works for me, I usually don't get want others get at the same time, but when it comes, it comes much more and better.. My English name means favor, the chosen one, blessed amongst all. I am grateful to God and my parents and my hubby😁😁😁 my names all work for me..
ReplyDeleteI have also choose my kids name from now until when they come.
My name's Mary and it's means bitterness but I'm not bitter. I have a name in mind to name my kids already. I want a name that is unique and positive for my future kids
ReplyDeleteBetrayers!!! All the Mary’s I know
DeleteMy name has been a blessing to me since i was born.
ReplyDeleteIt means= God does the thinking for me,as i have nothing to worry.

Chinelo in full is "Chinaelotam". meaning God is remembering me or God is thinking about me
DeleteAnother one is Chimnaelolumililoma, means God thinks good thoughts for/about me or His thoughts for me are of good not evil. Na my name but Chinelo for short.
DeleteThe Wike you see today, Tomorrow you will see no more....🤐
ReplyDeleteI believe the names we bear have a huge impact on our lifes.
ReplyDeleteStella’s are pure in heart, they have OBI nwanne, they always always wish and want to b heard or standout in a crowd, strangely they r usually short🤣. There hearts r Gold, but extremely DOGMATIC , they always have the last say, they must win in argument . Naaaaaaa very impossible to please.

DeleteMy native name means" great woman"
ReplyDeleteNames are such important part of our identities, I feel like you would do your kids a disservice by giving them made up names or foreign names that you don't know their meanings.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like biblical names and ethnic names with cultural ties. Some native names sound like cuss words and don't translate well but some parents don't think about the future of their kids when naming them such, all for family name.
Most importantly, do your kids a solid and raise them to be entrepreneurial then you can name them whatever the f you want.
There is power in our names
ReplyDeleteAnd my name speaks and work for me in everything I do
That's why I have carefully choosen my kids name till they come.I believe our names can be a great part of a person
Same here, my native name means blessings from God. Things don't work out for me easily but when it does it comes in a supper duper form. I remember writing jamb five times gave up the hope of going to the university because I was tired, then came an admission from one of the best universities in the world. Am in my final year and will be graduating soon. God blessings are beautifully dressed and are permanent.
ReplyDeleteI'm named after a mythological roman goddess.
ReplyDeleteSTELLLLLLLLLLA AM ON MY KNEES AS IBTYPE THIS. I WAS THE PERSON WHO DROPPED THT COMMENT YDAY. JESUS U WONT UNDERSTAND WHT U JUST DID. STELLA HRM WILL NEVER COME YOUR WAY TO YOUR FOUTH GENERATION. COME AND SEE TEARS IN MY EYES NOW. COME AND SEE PPLE ASKING ME WHAT IS WRONG? DOD SOMEONE DIE..
ReplyDeleteThere is power in NAMES!!!!!! Am in church oooooo will b back. Touching lives is your new name for me.
My name makes all men who are with me have leaps and bounds in success. But when I leave they struggle and find life very tough. Who ever is with me is always blessed enough to take good care of me.
ReplyDelete15;23. Ifeoma welldone o! Keep using spiritual darkness and mirror to trap men. Your cup go full one day
DeleteI am Yoruba. Stop looking for the people chasing you!
DeleteIfeoma. I have the power to influence pple Positively( in terms of good behavior I shine light in Pple with DARK minds) they act like am a nwaochicha once am with them, the moment I step out of there lives , they emulate and copy everything good about me. Ifeoma( Good thing) I pray to have a baby girl to gift her same name.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do in this life please do not give your daughters the name LINDA if u know you won’t teach them the light of God( serpent). Envy, jealousy, wickedness, they will destroy anything good to be on top, of u r in a relationship and know a Linda please keep it as coded as possible. There hearts r full of darkness and competition. I have meet 6 since my primary school, the story is the same.
ReplyDeleteTaa shut up.Lynda has various meaning. one of them is pretty. Google is your friend and stop spilling rubbish from your twisted skull
DeleteIf u like spell it upside down. Linda is SERPENT and there behaviors r same.
Delete@15;46. In d book of Genesis, God created everything beautiful,so u r right about Linda meaning beauty, Snake has one of d best color combinations of all animals ,It’s 3 major characteristic are. Envy , it cldnt stand d beautiful relationship bw man and God , out of envy it went for Eve to destroy that relationship, anon is right, keep your relationship away from Lindas, they look for weak mind , manipulate and destroy there relationships . Greed snake had everything at its disposal but no, it had to add Gods best creature to his side. Jealousy, the snake cldnt stand d sight of Adam it set a bait for Eve and she feel. If this is your name or ur sister name tell them to change it.
DeleteThere's power in a name! All My names have great meaning and I actually act as my name implies.
ReplyDeleteI still act like my hypocorism.
It is the name you give yourself that matters.speak to yourself and watch wonders happen.it works for me..
ReplyDeleteI am my name. Both the English and the native. We took out time to pick the kids names. Something classy, yet meaningful.
ReplyDeleteYes name has a lot of impact on one's life. there was one saint that was raped to death (Catholics here might know).and her name was given to my sister by my mum at birth. If i tell you the story of this my sister you will know that there is power in the names we bear. She has changed the name though.
ReplyDeleteSaint Raped to death ke????? God abeg o
DeleteMaria Goretti
DeleteBiko she wasnt raped to death o,get your facts right. She resisted rape and was stabbed to death as a result. She is my patron saint and my confirmation name is Maria Goreti
Deletethat was St. Maria Goretti.
ReplyDeleteAs a teenager,She was raped and stabbed multiple times(14 times I guess). Before she died as a result of the attack, she forgave the culprit.
My name is olayemi,and truly wealth befits me,cos anywhere I go pple see me as a wealthy lady,nt knowing wt am going thru.
ReplyDeleteMy name has patience in it and I'm far from patient!
ReplyDeleteChukwuamaka- God is beautiful, and indeed he has been.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma calls me Akudinanwa, meaning "There is wealth in the child"
(she has a special name for her children, grandchildren and inlaws),
and I just believe I'll be this super rich young lady one day.
Stella is my middle name😊😊
My name Rosemary Nneoma
ReplyDeleteam a woman who stand out in the mist of all women ...
dictionary meaning of Mary is bitterness but in the bible Mary have birth to Jesus she was honoured she was blessed among women and Catholics still worship that name Mary so am bless among women....Then Nneoma means good mother ....Am bless
Catholics don't worship Mary. They honour Mary for birthing the Saviour.
DeleteThey don’t worship the name, they reverence it in fulfillment of the scriptures.
DeleteBTW, I am also Rosemary and my native name means God gives.
peace and destiny/God made me. the meaning of my English and native names. yeah names follow you
