introduction
yes as we all know everything in this world have a name w wether good, bad or living and nonliving the must be name attached to it.
let look into the meaning of name first
"NAME": name is a word giving to a person or things to be well address or referred to,it can be anything you can go Imagine.
naming so important to people that is why a lot of family don't joke with name, even when we all have the same surname we still have our original names.
my three names as costom demands
I'm know in formal place as prince morgan Christian I don't really have an native name bass on my grandfather was not answering an English name even my father.
so the following are the meaning of my name!
Prince : prince which is my first name is not really a name for everyone , prince is supposed to be given to a male royatty family members.
my name was given to by a chief, who is a friend to my father and he was so happy that my father have a son, so he decided to give me a name.
morgan: the name morgan is not really a popular name, it mean "sea born" "sea born" or "sea circle" according to Google it a traditionally a boy's name of welsh origin.
I also find out that this name morgan giving to male child is now giving to a female child this recent years
christian : this name come from a latin word which means "followers of Christ" just the way the word Christian does in English origin.
I also have name my grandmother gave is called "uyo-obong" which means the voice of God that is the name she call me anytime I travel to the village.
my ethics in my locality
in my side there is this pattern of giving a child name we used in naming it is a tradition, the name people according to when and how the gave birth to you maybe at, night, daytime,in the hospital,in the church, good way, bad boys,in the market etc. in our side a child is named after seven of birth.
in akaw ibom we have a lot of names, this names may sound stupid but the have wonderful meaning, the following are the names in akaw ibom.
| male names | meaning |
|---|---|
| apan | first son |
| Ndiana abassy | closer to God |
| Akan | winner |
| okon | at night |
| ubouk obong | hand of God |
| uyo-obong | voice of God |
| Ukeme | ability |
the following are names for females
| female names | meaning |
|---|---|
| Udauk abassy | the will of God |
| ima-obong | loveth |
| Eno | gift |
| Emediog | you are blessed |
| Eti-ima | good love |
| Eti-eno | good gift |
you can see we have a lot of names with awesome meanings, I so much love the name " uyo-obong" voice of God like I said it the name my grandmother gave to me.
got a name for myself
when I grow up and understand that prince is not a name prince is just like a title I decided to change to my middle which is"morgan" and that is the I have used to open all my social media accounts, a lot of people also called me morgan
my steemit username
like I said earlier I use morgan in my social media is either I add prince to it or number so when I wanted to open my steemit account, morgan didn't work because it have been used by another users so I have to add figure to it that is how get the name @morgan76 as my steemit name.
Conclusion
name is very important a lot of know people by their names especially when it comes to twins you can identify by their names.
I also believe everything around us also have a name.

Thanks for going through my post, but sir my grandmother always tell me that names affects people.
When giving children name we should be very careful before doing that because there name speaks for them, through there names they can be favoured and also names brings bad luck
@emmanu do you believe that names affects a lot of people, it even bring back luck.
but is not everyone that believe in that bro because there is this thing the normally said that what you believe is what works for you.
Nice 😂😂 am very happy that I have been learning some names in your language before if I hear this names i will be laughing at that person that answers the because the way it sounds in my ear, and the reason why I laughed at the is because I don't know the meaning but now I have learnt at least I have know the meaning of ukeme, apan, okon, akan and so on.thanks @morgan for participating in this naming contest
