Whats in a Name?

When it comes to naming their newborn child couples around the world go to great lengths to find the right name. Much thought and research, quarreling and consulting goes into the naming process. Some like names pregnant with meaning, others choose them for their sound or the number of alphabets they have if they are bothered about numerology.

Here in Zambia though a name is a name and sometimes it’s all about practicality. If a child is born on a Friday or a Sunday or a Monday well, that will be his name. Similarly a first born could very well be named First. Other interesting names I’ve come across are Charity, Innocent, Loveness, Ringness, Stone, Opper and my personal favourite -Exnobert!
