Urhobo names

[patience kakitie]

I'm an ethnic Nigerian woman born and raised in the UK. I've just had my
first child - a boy - and would really like to give him an Urhobo middle
name. For reasons too long and personal to go into here, I cannot ask my
mother.

What I would really like is a list of Urhobo boy's names and their meanings
so that I can choose a suitable one. A website would be great, but if anyone
has such a list I would be really grateful.

Also - could anyone tell me the meaning of the prefix Oghene I've seen with
so many names.

Thanks.

Missy P.

these questions?

If you don't not have a helpful reply, why waste bandwidth responding ?

No I don't. That's why I've come as far as asking complete strangers for
help.

Mr Prosper,

What can I say to please a caricature of a human being ? Some might find
you amusing, but I will always classify you as a coward who uses the mask
of pidgin english and vernacular to deflect criticism.

Hello sir, do you know the meaning of Omokaro and also, is it a typical Urhobo name or an Edo name.
