It doesn't matter how ancient it is. The beauty of it is the meaning and the reasoning. That's also one of the reasons I love Igbo names, U don't just choose a name b/c u like how it sounds.
feel me?

Let me not 4get our other fam friends Anana (even today I'm like what??? ),

I used to know somebody named Anana when I was younger.

How about these names : Ozichi, Kasarachi, Onyekachi, Sowechi, Tobechi (friends of mine...brothers and sisters)

Also my moms middle name: Nwanyiabayi (a woman has entered). her parents had many boys before they had her.

My personal favourite tho: Akuada (The wealth of the daughter!) Very unique, I only know two people in the whole world by that name.

not really. she can always shorten it to iweobi, obi or
egbunam

But you also gotta consider the meaning of the name before you name your child, not just how the name sounds na. How will you walk around calling your child iweobi? If it's me I will wonder what my parents were going through when i was born.

I've always liked the name Aroli, we had a fam friend child by that name when i was younger. Other than them, I've never heard anyone else by that name. I know it comes from Umu Aroli in Onitsha, all u Osamala people. Let me not 4get our other fam friends Anana (even today I'm like what??? ), and Toli
Like what the heck kind of Igbo names are those??

the names i mentioned are of onitsha origin . Other towns in anambra just adopted them, jare
