[quote=Anonymous] I dated three Nigerian (Yoruba) men before I married a man from a different West African country and was so bummed that I couldn't use "Ayo" for a daughter anymore. It would have fit DD well. DS would have had Babatunde as a middle name because he IS his grandfather returned. Oh well. Ask around while you're there. There are so many cool names that fit particular circumstance. You may even be able to find a name that means "born far from home." Obviously, you'll draw from the community in which you're ensconced---not some random name from another African country. That would defeat the whole point of naming the child in this manner. "We were living in Kenya the year she was born, so we named her [Zambian name]." Er, what?! [/quote]
