In a Land of Homemade Names, Tiffany Doesn’t Cut It

[-Lily-]

^^Why thank you. I still maintain it would be tiring to be anything all the time, especially firey & provocative names. Reminds me of that book Freakonomics, there are consequences for names, I always thought black people made up names. I was right.

[Ibtisam]

^^^Loool. I like the name, but like you I'm having second thoughts.

With lines like that I think your name would be the last worry

I had a Chinese client once that her name was YU SUK...almost cracked up the first time I saw her name. Oddly enough, I thought that it would be pronounced differently but nope. Everytime I spoke to her, I had to hold my tongue and not try and crack up.

^LoL

 

Caano, Looser was one in a million, (besides he had no option but to be a success with a name like that) compared to the hordes of black ppl that employers discriminated against.

[Caano Geel]

faarax, come to think of it, somali nick-names ala. indhacade, dhag-dhuuban iyo lug-dheer which are substituted for birth names arn't far off the whack list

Surely you could use the reach of the moon and land on the tree analogy, surely reaching for 'sensational' and falling on 'great' couldn't be so bad

[Pujah]

loool @ the Kenyan names magacya ku foolxumaa miyaa laga iibshay toloow

 

I like the SA names, at least they all have stories and are original

Faarax LooooL. How I love Africans.

 

Caano Geel true but having Himmler, Hess and Hitler in one family is going too far.

 

 

Can't say I have come across many weird somali names but one i've heard of is Abdi Jiir.

[Malika]

Faraax..Lol those are so not African names..Lol

 

People can be mean wallahi,this woman I know since her childhood she has been called Mina Lughaa Xuun..hadhaa everybody refers her to that nick..

Somalis giving Kenyans a run for their money.

 

Enjoy.
