Ow I like Zuri but you should decide after spending some time with your new baby. You might decide that the ones you pick don't fit. They have so much personality. Good luck I am excited for your!

I also like the name Zuri! That was one of my choices when I was searching for names. I had a list of a bunch of african names and some musical names, I had a lot of favorites and just couldn't decide. When I brought him home he dropped a toy and I said "uh-oh Ecko" and the name just fit so thats how I decided lol. I wanted the spelling to be unique so thats why there is a K instead of an H. <br><br>Post edited by: caitb2007, at: 2009/07/22 15:39

I like all the African names and their respective meanings. :-)

 

Thats how we arrived at deciding on "Dayo - meaning "Joy has arrived". Which it truly did.

 

Heres the link to the song on Youtube:

I like the african names too. I just sent out blood work for sexing, it should help me decide or at least narrow down some names!
