Filbert! That sounds like a (comically old-fashioned English/German) cartoon to me, but I can see the appeal. The meaning is nice, and I like the similar sounding
Philip and
Gilbert, plus the probable namesake in this usage.
Bukar,
Oumar,
Eliud,
Tadesse,
Babajide,
Zuri,
Hlengiwe,
Subira,
Oluchi, and
Ngozi seem likable to me.
Oyibo sounds good to me, but seems like it could be awkward as a name. Is it like calling someone Caucasian, or is it used in a more abstract way?
I think
Yakubu and
Yared sound better than
Jacob and
Jared do.
My favorite African name is probably
Etenesh.
Taiwo and
Yewande have stood out to me recently as well.
