Ghanan Names

As we all know, males born are Friday are named Kofi. This semester Haley learned that Kojo means born on Monday. Well now we have the entire list:

Kojo - born on Monday
Kobbi - born on Tuesday
Kwaku - born on Wednesday
Yao - born on Thursday
Kofi - born on Friday
Kwame - born on Saturday
Kwasi - born on Sunday

That means Evan you are now to be known as Kofi, SJ as Yao and David as Kobbi. Stuie will now be referred to as Kwaku.

Female names are as follows:

Adwoa - born on Monday
Adowa - born on Tuesday
Akua - born on Wednesday
Aba - born on Thursday
Afua/Afia - born on Friday
Ama - born on Saturday
Akosua - born on Sunday

Haley will now be known as Aba. The big question there is when Haley becomes a mother is Aba an Ima? I will now be known as Adwoa. Mom works well too.
