Hello Ndi Nkem!

Hope you are all well. I have been working on so many projects and I apologize for being absent for a little bit. Anyways I am back now and glad to share some ideas with y’all.

If you are Igbo, you probably know we have an abundance of “chi” names in our dictionary. So I thought, what if you don’t want to name your baby girl a Chi name. What if you aren’t religious or just want a name with a different meaning for your daughter. How many are out there? Well the answer is a lot. I was able to put down a few and here they are:

1. Adaora – my name! First daughter of all
2. Adannaya (var. Adanna) – First daughter of her father
3. Adanne -First daughter of her mother
4. Adaeze -First daughter of a king
5. Adamma -First daughter of beauty
6. Adaobi -First daughter of a king
7. Ifunanya -The only one I see with my eyes .ie. love
8. Anwulika (var. Anwuli) -Happiness is greater
9. Nkiruka (var. Nkiru)-The one in front is greater
10. Ekwutosi (var. Ekwy)-Don’t condemn me
11. Ifeoma -A good thing
12. Ijeoma -Good journey
13. Mma -Beauty
14. Ifeyinwa (var. Ify) -What compares to a child?
15. Njideka -The one in your hand is greater
16. Mmesoma -Doer of good things
17. Obiuso -Good heart
18. Nwando -A child brings peace
19. Ezinne -Good mother
20. Obiageli (var. Oby)-Born to eat wealth
21. Ngozi -Blessing
22. Odinchezo – You won’t be forgotten
23. Ucheoma -Good heart
24. Lotanna -Remember the father
25. Uzoamaka -The road is beautiful
26. Uzomma -Good road
27. Ezinwanne -Good sister or good sibling
28. Obianuju (var. Uju)-Born into wealth
29. Nwabunor -The child is the home
30. Ijeabalim -The journey favored me
31. Somadina -I won’t be alone
32. Ihuoma -Favor or something good
33. Ifeatu – A thing of reference
34. Nneoma -Good mother
35. Nnenna -Her father’s mother
36. Nneka -Mother is greater
37. Nneamaka -Mother is beautiful
38. Nwanneka -Sisterhood/Brotherhood is greater
39. Obioma -Good heart
40. Adaugo -Daughter of an eagle .ie. Beautiful daughter
41. Ujunwa -Born into abundance
42. Nwanyioma -Good woman
43. Ukamaka -Dialogue is good or Church is good
44. Nnedimma -Mother is good
45. Uchenna -Heart of the father
46. Nkemdilim (var. Nkem)-Let what is mine remain mine
47. Kambili -Allow me live
48. Ndidiamaka (var. Ndidi)-Patience is good
49. Olanma (var. Ola)-Beautiful gold or precious gift

51. Akwaugo -Precious daughter
52. Nkolika (var. Nkoli)- Conversation is better
53. Urenna -Her father’s pride
54. Yagazie -It is well with you

So how did I do? We have so many beautiful names that don’t have Chi, Chukwu, etc in them and I just thought it would be amazing to share. Which ones are not there (I know there are a lot)? Let me know in the comments below. I will share the one for boys soon. Till next time. K’odi!
