LOL. Names with meaning, sauce & smoothness — not some unseasoned names without any meaning.
Man like Fiks, lol.

I know. It gives me human zoo vibes.Not gonna lie, I always hated doing this when caucasians ask. Always more along the lines of wanting entertainment. Ugh
I'm proud of my name, it's not some circus show.

YeahShe was respectful. Some of you look to be offended about everything and your existence must be exhausting.

I agree!!!
My mom rarely remembers many people's names. She stays pronouncing names wrong. Certain foreign names are really hard to pronounce, so it's great to always ask a person to say it first and if you still cannot get it. Ask them if a nickname is okay. Many Asians use American names. The coach of Duke university's basketball team is called Coach K.I like knowing to to say someone's name instead of calling them a nickname to help people that can't be bothered to learn their real name. There is a girl that does this at my job and I'm will correct you when you get my name wrong. I think it's disrespectful and it's nice that she asked.
I feel this but she kind of changed the feeling for me when she wanted to know cause it's fascinating, it feels icky.My full full full name
He then goes on to say it in such a sexy ass way .
Good on her for having the courage to ask him. So many white people would like to give a nickname or just ignore their name altogether.
Uhhhh yes girl the "does your name have clicks in it"I know. It gives me human zoo vibes.
Maybe the Western black people on here don't see it the same way, but as an African living in Europe I get annoyed when white people look disappointed that I have a short, easy to pronounce name and surname. They want us to be these exotic strange creatures they can gawk at. It's a type of fetishism. "oMg sO faScInAtInG" as if there aren't Greeks and Russians with long as names with hella consonants in them.
The other thing is when they are like "Does your language have clicks in it? Can you say something?" Don't you have YouTube on your phone, Gabriella?
Me too...so I up front just say "I'm about to massacre your name, help me avoid that and tell me how to pronounce it"My mom rarely remembers many people's names She stays pronouncing names wrong.

We're all allowed to have our own opinions.She was respectful. Some of you look to be offended about everything and your existence must be exhausting.
Isnt Oluwa given to girls too?On another note, I read somewhere that a lot of African names are pronounced phonetically, so:
Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola "Fikayo" Tomori
It seems that his name is pronounced by sounding it out exactly as it looks.
Does anyone know what his name means?
Olu sounded familiar to me so I looked it up and found this:
"Olu is a popular name amongst people of the Yoruba ethnic group. It is usually the first three letters of the full name. "Olu" is a diminutive of "Oluwa" in the Yoruba language and it can mean God, deity or lord,[1] so the name 'Oluwale' could mean "My God has come home". Since the name is applied to people, however, god in the sense of deity or lord is what is usually accepted, with the word even being used as a royal or noble title in certain parts of Nigeria, Benin and Togo."
Nah I picked up the vibe immediately especially considering the source. I would have told her ass to look it up but I know that would just blowback on him. Honestly sports in general are human zoos so it sadly was not surprising.I know. It gives me human zoo vibes.
