Our names

I love traditional names. Nyisanzu people they name the newborn babies in their style. For Christians, before baptism, a baby girl is named Nyanso and baby boy Isumba. The name is abandoned after the baby is baptized. Some our names i love for girls are: Itale, Isamba, Nyasungi, Nkili, Nyasade, Nyamtandi, Nyamdindi, Ulumbi, Shunyu, Ngw'anyi, Shunga, Iya, Nsalu, Waza, Iya, Kitumu, Wandisha.
I cant remember all. At the end of the day Shosti is called Nyawe. For boys, Isonsi, Mkilya, Kitandu, Mzengi, Manzawa, Msindai, Ntoga, Gang'ai, Ibobo, Nkuzi, Kitunga. Oops!  I cant remember all.
