Osayuwamen in bini means "God endowed me with wealth". Its a not so popular name in Edo state in comparison with others. Though we all are referred to as "osas" for short.
First, my neighbour gave birth to a baby girl and named her after me. I was so excited when I heard it. Then my great friend did so again three days ago. I screamed with excitement once again. Maybe, its because I'm so awesome #duh!!!
Seriously, I think its the unpopularity and the meaning of the name. My grandma named me "Uhunoma" which means Good head/destiny, another unpopular name too.
Someone told me a friend named his child"maranatha" and I was like huh??? What does that mean? She said she doesn't know. So I asked google and it meant " O lord,come or Our Lord cometh" I just said I don't care how crazy bae is for God he better not try this rubbish with my kids name.
I've been thinking, what influences the choice of name for a new born? Is it the meaning, circumstance surrounding the birth,role models???
Seriously, what's in a name?
HAPPY NEW YEAR PHAVOURITES.

Lol...People have different reasons but the reasons behind a name matter. A name is the first identity of a person. It has great spiritual implications, as a child is named, the angels have put a name to his/her destiny. So it must be carefully chosen. As I have observed in the Bible and from few parents who truthfully open up, they give a name based on their views nd perceptions about the child and often that turns out to be what the child becomes.
ReplyDeletePlease don't spank bae if he thinks Marantha is the best. Lol...

Lol.... Bae won't try that rubbish
DeleteNo matter the circumstances surrounding the birth of a child it's not a yardstick to name the child wrongly. A child brings joy just as a name influences a destiny. I have a friend named osayuwanen.

DeleteFavour, I love your name!!! If my future husband happens to be from Benin, I'm so going to use OSAYUWAMEN. Yes. :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait see more of your "personal" posts. I am a sucker for those who share personal stories.
Awwwwwwww
DeleteI have problem in pronouncing all those names. Thank God you answer "Favour" not the traditional one.
ReplyDeleteThe Circumstance of birth matters a lot in this part of the World when planning to name your child.
Another thing that matters is the historical background of the person that bear those name of your choice. You may name Joseph because you like his way of life as an apostle, and in recent time you've met many Joseph who are modest in character.
Though in this century, what matters is the "Trend"...many named their children because its a treading name in town.
Favour how are you?
Hmmmm.... Thoughtful... I'm fine thanks
Deletei think the meaning should influence the choice of name for a new born bae and not circumstance.
