It's just a short form that would be easier to pronounce for non Igbo speaker. I wouldn't like anyone killing my traditional name by the way they pronounce it!

Oluwapamilerin
Dammy (short form of Damilola)
Oyinkansola

Ebamma
Mymama
Mypapa
Garri Mma
Ekamma

It's of no use if your supposed Igbo name doesn't sound Igbo. We bear Igbo names to promote our language too.

Nnemesit literally meaning 'sweet heart'.
