Why Nigerians Love English Baby Names

It’s no secret that English names are some of the most popular non-Nigerian baby names in Nigeria. Naming of babies in English, boys and girls, dates back a long to the colonial days. In Nigeria, English names are an automatic identifier of a Christian, and that was because the English people brought Christianity to Nigeria and at the time preached for new Christians to ‘baptize’ by picking a new Christian-based English name. So, it’s not a surprise to see some Nigerian grand-fathers who bear English names.
English baby boy names are also a favourite among expecting mothers in Nigeria.


So, did you find a suitable English name for your newborn baby boy? Or did I miss adding your favourite English name in the above list? If so, add it in the comment below and we will be glad to add it to the list.
