in most african countries, parents will do one of two things:
translate literally an african word (from their local language) into english and therefore losing its true meaning and becomes wierd!
or theyuse an english word that relates to the time in their lives when the child was born. for example, one man i know accused his wife of having an affair but beofre the child was born, they resolved the issue and now wanted to put it in the past, they named the child "Forget"!!! the child after that was called "Forgiveness". i have heard very wierd names in my life in Africa:
Cement, Godknows, Givemore, Lovemore, Learnmore, Trymore, Happymore, Grey, White, Gracious, and the best one: Carrot!!! NO JOKE PEOPLE!!!
