Akelibone imisebenzi yamashona abantu abangakwazi ukwethesa abantwana amabizo sebeze besihlekise ngezinye izizwe.
BBC Africa 15 December 2003
In southern Africa if you carry the name Mandela, Sisulu, Tutu, Sobukwe, Luthuli or Samora, you are probably on a winning ticket and will go far. People will sit up and listen.
And moving further north, should you choose to name your child Nkrumah, Nyerere, Lumumba, Selassie or Sankara, he or she will have a head start.
But in that tradition, how come we have not heard of any little Miriam Makebas?
"What makes a person is his or her identity, so a name is really very important".
Paul Gisemba, Kenya
Rolihlahla, Nelson Mandela's other name, does not seem to have caught on around the continent. In Xhosa the name translates as making trouble for yourself, bringing things upon yourself or taking things on.
And you could be doing precisely that if you are stuck with a more questionable name, say Mobutu, Bokassa, Savimbi, Kamuzu Banda, or Idi Amin.
Instant name recognition? Sure. But who wants that sort of notoriety connected to one of Africa's disgraced giants?
Fallen Heroes
There is a young lady who goes by the name of Kadzamira - named after Malawi's disgraced former not-quite-first-lady, Cecilia Kadzamira. She probably gets teased - if people remember that far back.
But where are the Anwar Sadats and how many Agostinho Netos are floating about Africa?
Being a legend in life or death does not necessarily mean one's name is bestowed upon future Africans.
Then there are names that are becoming fashionable, like Che, in the style of the legendary Latin American revolutionary, Che Guevara and Cuba's Fidel Castro.
Rolihlahla meaning making trouble has not been popular
The South African freedom fighter Steve Biko falls into that category, with his instantly recognisable face emblazoned on t-shirts, caps, posters, bags and badges.
The names of football and pop stars also attract attention. There must be any number of Roger Milla somethings dotted around Africa.
But get this: Elton John Taaibos, which means tough bush in Afrikaans, is a real human being somewhere in South Africa!
And you know the American film star, Bill Cosby who plays Dr Cliff Huxtable? Well his TV grandchildren were named Winnie and Nelson!
Cleopatra did the rounds for a while in honour of the historical Egyptian queen and, of course, the more contemporary, sexy, action-screen-superwoman, Cleopatra Jones.
She of the billowing afro, stiletto-heeled boots, hot pants and leather jackets, she was something!
Others prefer safer zones, going for tried and tested first names. Africa is full of Comfort, Patience, Hope, Faith and Charity.
Literal Names
In Zimbabwe they are more adventurous, but just as literal. Don't be surprised to shake hands with Jealous or Jealous Down - ie put your jealousy aside and admit it!
Suppertime, Petrol, Fingernail, Expedite and Messenger will welcome you to Zimbabwe. Gladness and Lovemore - two favourites - will no doubt be gracious hosts.
But how many people do you know called Loveless? Yup, they exist too. Maybe some have already been named Land Reform Policy or perhaps Equitable Land Re-Distribution.

(b)VERY PROVOCATIVE PEOPLE
mudyanesimba,muzanenhamo, muchaneta, taparamhosva
tirivavi(we are evil)
(c)VERY PERSIMISTIC
wafawanaka,nhamo,nhamoyebonde(sexual importence)
chanachenhamo, tanyanyiwa

Mawundlu kaMalandela!
Nina beSilo!
Nina bakaMthaniya!
Nina bakaPhunga no Mageba!
Ngithanda ukuphosa itshe esivivaneni somlando wenhlanhla. Ngisabhibhidla ngakho angikwazi ukumumatha umthamo omkhulu. Ngivukwe amadlingozi ngathi angigiye. Angiphethe namdlelo neqhabanga lokugiya. Nokuncwada angincwadile!
Bakwethu, kukhona okungangiphathi kahle. Ma ngilandela inkosi yohlanga (Lobengula) kwi website ye ICAZ, ngibona kunabetshabi abaqanjwe ngezibongo namagama kaMageba. Umzekelo : uNgquzandini lona (Mudidi), uzibiza Themba. Besekuba no Tendai Mkwanani.
Mina ngithi cha ngeke madoda! Bazifakela umkhokha nje kuphela. Abetshabi sebethenge izibongo namagama ethu wemadoda! Yikona lokhu okusifakela ububha nobuntembuzane! Yikona okusuka kwenze sengathi thina besilo sesikhuluma isikirimane! Ulimi namasiko kufa kanjena ngoba lezilwanyana ezinamagama nezibongo zethu yizona ezivame ukugqama emphakathini. Phecelezi, an impression is created that we are Shona since prominent people (ie CAs) bearing our names and surnames are Shona speaking.
Nithini nina bakaMntungwa no Mbulazi?

Asicabange kahle uma siqamba abantwana bethu
Ngike ngahlangana nensizwa egama layo lingu Seawater. Ngiyazi ukuthi akusiyona into enhle ukuhleka igama lomuntu, kodwa angikwazanga ukuzibamba. Ngimane ngaqhephuka wena owabona imbiza egcwele amanzi iwa ekhanda lowesimame evela emfuleni.
NgesiZulu liyezwakala leli gama lika Manzolwandle, kodwa ngesingisi lingahlekisa nezinkukhu zidla umgqakazo.
Thina ndlu emnyama siyawathanda amagama athe phecelezi. Siqamba abantwana bethu singacabangi ukuthi bazophenduka izinhlekisa uma bekhula.Ngisafunda esikoleni bekunomfana ogama lingu Come To See Dludla. Uma sizonika abantwana bethu amagama esilungu aloluhlobo, kungani singavele sigcine ngalawa esintu?
Njengoba sesikhululekile nje akuseyona impoqo ukunika izingane amagama esilungu.Bheka nje ngoba selokhu kwafika omakhal' ekhukhwini sekunamagama afana no Vodacom Cele, Nokia Mthethwa, Recharge Voucher Hlengethwa, Ericsson Hlatshwayo, Pincode Dlamini, Airtime Ndiyane, Pay As You Go Masemola, o Please Call Me Mgwaba, Service Not Available Mthethwa no MTN Ndlovu.
Kanti kule mindeni ethanda ezombangazwe, kunezingane ezethiwa amagama afana no Democratic Alliance Ndlangisa, Constitution Shezi, Voter Registration Mseleku, Democratic Election Shabalala, no Ballot Box Jali.
Kuthiwa esikhathini esiningi umntwana ulandela igama lakhe. Kukhona uMxosheni ohlala enekizandla kanti uxoshwa njalo emsebenzini. Kanti oMpiyakhe niyabazi nje ukuthi banochuku, bangophumasilwe.
Kukhona abazali abakholelwa kakhulu kulesi sisho ngangokuthi baze bethe izingane ngamagama abafisa ukuthi ziwalandele. Yingakho nje uthola oProfessor Ngubane, Doctor Khumalo, Engineer Nyembezi, Nurse Cikwayo, Medical Researcher Masombuka kanye no Editor Msibi.
Kanti akusiwona amagama esilungu kuphela athe phecelezi. Kukhona oHluphile, oDoti, oHleziphi kanye no Ndlebe (ndlebe kazizwa).Usuke ulindeleni uma uqamba ingane yakho ngondlebe, bese usumangala ukuthi kwakhala nyonini uma ingane yakho ikhula ingezwa iphenduka utsotsi onembobo ekhaleni.
Abaningi oHluphi bayahlupha. Ubathola beshayanisa amadoda ngamakhanda, futhi bezala izingane bezilahlela kogogo.OHleziphi bona bagcwele emijondolo, ngoba bangomantunta nendishi.
Asicabange kahle uma siqamba abantwana bethu, futhi sibanike amagama amahle angeke abenza inhlekisa uma sebebadala.
Kanti nalawa eBhayibheli asiwayeke, akekho efeshinini futhi akasoze abe khona. Cabanga nje igama lakho kungu Hezekiya noma uNebgadineza noma uFaro!Ngeke ngathuka nje uma ngithola ingane yekholwa ebizwa ngoMene Mene Tekel Ufasin Mbambo noma ke uEloyi Eloyi Lamasabakthan Doyisa.
uMntongenakudla kaNgogwane waKwaDlangezwa.
Inkwali yenkosi.
Inxangiphilile.
