Good baby names?

My friend is having a baby in 3 months. She has a daughter called Nakeata and she likes 3 sylablle (sorry can't spell it) names. Her daughter is half African and she likes the weirdish type names and the african american names (although we are Aussies lol) So any ideas? Oh it's a girl.

African - American baby girl names

Answer 4

How about a real African name with a meaning?

From South Africa:

Lindiwe (don't know the meaning)
Palesa (from the Suthu tibe meaning flower)
Moloko (from the suthu tribe, don't know meaning)
Karabo (don't know the meaning)
Naledi (means star, not sure which tribe)
Nosizwe (I think it means mother of our nation)
Xolisa (Zulu or Xhosa tribe. The x is a click which would take some practicing)
Phumzile (don't know the meaning but the 'h' is silent.)

From Kenya: Nyambura from the Kikuyu tribe, given to a girl child born when it is raining.
other names from the same tribe: Wangare, Waithera, Wairimu.

Soita (Luhya tribe in Kenya)
Sanaipei (pronounced sa-nai-pay) a maasai name.

From Senator Barrack Obama's tribe (Luos in Kenya): Amondi or Atieno or Adhiambo (pronounced Athiambo) (It has to be an A to start with cause most names beginning with A are girl's names, and beginning with O are boy's names so Omondi, Otieno and Odhiambo would be boys).

From Tanzania: Farida (which could be a Muslim name)
Rehema (which could be a Muslim name)

From Zimbabwe (and South Africa cause they have similar names:
Sitholile (3 syllables cause it's pronounced Sto-li-le)

From Zambia:
Chilemba, Tamale (my friend calles herself hot tamale!)

From Nigeria:
Adaobi (pronounced Adobe)
Adaba

From Ghana:
Adowoa (pronounced Ajuwa)

Ashanti is a cool name too, it's somebody famous in the US and it's the name of a cool tribe in Ghana.

Baraka would be a cool name. People don't really name their children that but it means blessing in Swahili.

My favourite name is "Amani". It means peace in Swahili.

Thanks, this quesiton really made me think. Most Africans have English names which is kinda sad. I've resolved to give my children African names. But Kylie (does it really mean boomerang? ) is a cool name too if she decides to honour her roots.

Answer 5

Perhaps she should look at Japanese names - Nakeata sounds Japanese. She can also check out online forums that are specifically for people looking for baby names - like this one - http://www.babyhold.com/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,50/ - she may be able to get good advice that way from people in the same boat

Answer 6

Maleeka

Answer 7

Delaney

Answer 8

Kamari
Raziya
Zahina
Zahara

Answer 9

Tea (pronounced Tia) is a lovely name. Rosie. Eva.

Answer 10

"Amara" is an african name and means unfading and eternal. I love this name!
Others maybe...
Chantricia (chan -tree-cha)
Jakayla
Keandra
Kianna
Rheanna

Hope that helps :)
