*1. GHANAIAN WAY (Meaning-Based)* We don't just give names for sound. Every name has a story. - Day-born: Kofi (Friday), Akua (Wednesday), Kwame, Abena - Circumstance: Nyameye (God has done), Nhyira (Blessing), Adom (Grace), Nkunim (Victory) - Order: Piesie (first born), Manu (second), Anane (fourth), etc. - Family: Naming after grandfather/grandmother to keep family alive *2. BIBLICAL / RELIGIOUS WAY* - Names from what parent was going through: Isaac = Laughter, Moses = Drawn from water - Or attribute of God: Emmanuel = God with us *3. WHITE MAN / ENGLISH WAY* - Job names: Smith (blacksmith), Baker, Farmer - Location: Hill, Wood, Rivers - Father's name: Johnson = John's son, Jackson = Jack's son *4. NOW - HOW BRANDS & COMPANIES GENERATE NAMES (Like Google, Spotify)* They use 3 tricks: - AI Generators: Put keywords like "gospel + Ghana" into http://namelix.com, it gives you GospelNation, Gospely - Mash two words: Facebook = Face + Book, Instagram = Instant + Telegram - Make it up: Kodak, Xerox - means nothing but easy to pronounce *The old human formula for generating a name is:* *Noun + Verb + Story = Name* Example: Your child born after suffering -> you call him Nyame Aye (God has done)
