Everyone in Nigeria that isn't bearing an english name(or catholic name/muslim name) knows the REAL meaning of their name so there's this software is bullshit to us. My full name, Toluwalakinegbontiwalayo(Just call me Tolu) means
"This male/strong man belongs to God; he's the older brother(egbon-big bro) of Tiwalayo(a girl's name meaning "Our's is joy")". In other words, my dad didn't want a male child, he wanted a girl so he dedicates me to God and says, "you've given me the child u want. Please also send the one i want" !

Ouch. What a nice way to seal his disapproval.

But I think it's poetic in a way

(sorta)
