RE: SteemAlive Presents: "What is in a name" Its all about your name and its meaning (60 Steem Prize)

in SteemAlive4 years ago

Wow I'm so delighted to partake in this contest and also to be in the first list. Mostly in my document it's all English names but has their Igbo meanings and circumstances surrounding it.
My name is Eche Godswill Daniel and my mom do call me Uchechukwu atimes as my Igbo name and Uchechukwu means Godswill or let the will of God be done" while my dad will call me Nnanna meaning grandpa cause I was named after my grandfather Eche meaning _God never forgets us" and some will call it Echezona and that's the only native name I have in my diary but most people like calling me Daniel but that's my dad's name and we look alike and being so young it's hard for some to differentiate us so they'll call me Daniel junior and I adopted the name which means "God is my judge".

Circumstances behind the name Godswill, my mom gave me the name and say people thought she can't give birth to me accept through surgery but she said she'll when the time comes and they were preparing for the surgery when she gave birth to me and she said the will of God is not the will of men so Godswill surpassed and that's how the name comes to play. While Iamdanny is a short form of Daniel cause my friends especially my classmates like calling me Danny or young Danny instead of my real name so I adopted the name which has made many to forget my real name and prefer the name Daniel or Danny as a nickname

Aww! Thanks so much @samuel20. I was so opportuned to meet my grandparents and my Grandpa who always call me ogbo meaning namesake, he grew so old, strong and was very intelligent. I remember how he used to address those in our compound. Was really a good memory as he led them till his death. Just wish to share from his strength and leadership quality

Wonderful entry @iamdanny, in the real sense, Eche is the shortened form of chukwuechezonam, that is why the meaning is God never forgets me or us. That's is a wonderful name. Thank you for your entry

Thank you for ur prompt response<

The pleasure is mine. I have come to realize that which they say names play roles in person life, well I don't know how true that is but I always say let Godswill especially when I'm in a confuse state and lost of thought. With surprise he acts at the right time and I know his thought for us is always for good just like mom will always say and I'm forever grateful to him. he never forgets me 'Echezonam'
Is appreciate a lot @ngoenyi

As a matter of fact @iamdanny I don't even know your Igbo name😂😂😂

It ranges from Uchechukwu to Nnanna to Echezona. Regardless all are beautiful names and your parents chose a beautiful name.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

You're not left alone in this @becky cause back then in school I have this close friend of mine, Eva by name who approached me and asked "Danny what is your real name?" and I said 'Godswill' she was marveled cause everybody including the teachers call me Daniel. I can remember she was even the person that was fond of calling me Danny uptil date before others started copying it. So feel free to call me any Godswill or Daniel. Or you can even call me Uchechukwu as an Igbo woman you are

@iamdanny you are really a Wonder, is really great to give people a surprise,even when they think your last word is contrasting to what they're seeing, you really came wonderfully.

Thanks @davchi it's obvious that men propose but God has the final say, all that is required of us is faith and surely Godswill must come surpass. Thanks for stopping by friend, the pleasure is mine

The meaning of his name is very good, our stories are very similar to each other. In my country, parents' names are also given. I think it's very nice in abbreviation name :)
