If "Jibade" is short for "Ajibade", a Nigerian name, then name your son "John" or "James" (or perhaps even "David") as the first name and place "Ajibade" in the middle position. Sad to say, some compromise is called for here, especially given the similarity of "Jibade" to the Muslim term "jihad", which has an unpleasant connotation to a lot of Americans nowadays.

How is it pronounced?
Ji - bade or Ji - baddie?
I don't think it's weird, just unusual. What's weird is why people want to give their child a name that millions of other people have!
Individuality is a great thing, I have a different name and although sometimes I was teased at school it made me a stronger person and I love my name now!

It has its origin from Egypt. Meaning is related to royalty. It is meant for male. Better research more on it so that you dont let it stick on, if it has a royal meaning, even a burtler has his name as an employee in the royal house.
To me, it is a nice sounding name especially if he is an Arab or a sweet African man.
Congratulation for having born a baby.

Not really weird, but totally unique. It's good you check this out here on Yahoo Answers, because the name could be a word in one language, with a certain meaning. Hopefully, it's nothing mean, bad or with a sexual connotation. Or, to your knowledge, what does the name mean?

Traditional names are interesting. If people have problems saying his name he could always go with a simple nickname. A girl I knew had a traditional Asian name, no one could pronounce it so we all knew her as just A, and it fit her really well.

There are names that are weird, but i see this more as unique. It seems like a 'name name' if you no what im trying to say, unlike names like apple or fairy and the like - those are the weird names.

It's the first time I've heard it but I don't think that makes it weird, just unusual. Where does it originate?

A friend of mine called his son Loki...I prefer traditional names but in the future traditional names might sound weird if they're outnumbered.
If he doesn't like it in the future he could always change it.
