568.0. "* AFRICAN GIRL NAME *" by CORREO::MONTALVO_M () Tue Aug 07 1990 13:07

    Checking via SEARCH wanted to find out if an African name I saw written
    many "moons" ago had been included in this BABYNAMES file.  Strangely
    I did not find it. I don't quite remember what it means but the article
    did mention it has to do with positive thinking. It has some positive
    connection with a beautiful African flower or personal characteristics.
    
    Here it is!!!

    The name may not look beautifully written but it does sound pretty in
    its pronounciation.
    
    Anyone want to use it for a future member of the family?  My family
    thus far has not shown any interest in using it.  So, I thought I
    might share it with you future mothers/fathers.

    You're right, that is plesant to the ear.  Since you know one African
    name I wonder if you could help me remember the girls name which means
    peace.  I am not sure if it is Swahili or another African language.
    Someone from Nirobi suggested it to a co-worker of mine many years ago
    and we both thought it was perfectly musical as well as honoring the
    childs heritage. (The child turned out to be a boy and his father
    named him Maximillion. Last I heard from the mother she was still not
    speaking to the father.8-} )
