In the recent past, exotic traditional names seems to have become a thing. I see a lot of parents coming up with really exotic traditional names for their children.
I don’t think this was always the case, at least not for some generations past.
So considering this, I always thought my parents did well because for their first three kids, they managed to come up with what I consider as unique and cool names, at least for their generation: Chinemerem, Nkeonyezuruya and Udoamaka.
So I was truly disappointed that all they could come up with when I was born was Uchechi. I mean as far as Igbo names go, it doesn’t get more common. It’s so common that it is answered both by males and females. Truly disappointing 😭😭😭
But then I received understanding 🧐and insight 🤓 about what my name stands for, and I have keyed into it so much that nothing else will do now.
So please feel free to say my name: Uchechi - God’s will, The Mind of God.
May his will reign supreme above all things for me and mine, and for you and yours.
Wishing you a joyous and peaceful Christmas celebration.
