People, my oyibo friend asked me for a some common sweet Igbo names and their meanings and for which sex they should be used.
I know their are list here and there on the internet, but can we compile our own list here?
I start with:
Nkeiruka = What is in future is best or what the future holds is better = female name.

@D J GBALA, They are Igbo names. I think want every scholar should do is want phronesis has done. Ask which part of the Eastern Nigeria cherish the names. ok? so when you are ready to learn, let me know.
