My vj name does not say anything, though KNL stands for my husbands and my name, Kwabena ~N~ Lisa. My husbands name is Solomon, but of course the family and friends always call him by his local name.

Since the other Ghanaian wives added their local names, I am Yaa. Only my husbands mom and sister call me that and on occasion my husband does.

Since a few people have gone on the actually explain the meaning of their VJ names, and even their actual names, here is my contribution.

My fiance's name is Taiwo Gbolohan Israel Awelawa (and those are just a FEW of them WITHOUT his surname). His English name is Richard. We, the family call him Taiwo (the Nigerian name given to the first born of a set of twins - the second baby is given the name Kehinde). Taiwo = "Pre-tasted the world." Kehinde = "The one who lagged behind".

A funny thing is that for months, when we first met, I would speak to his brother on the telephone, never knowing that he was my husbands Identical Twin. Then, one day, he so nonchalantly told me that they were twins (since I had not met him when I went to African last year because he was traveling), He just laughed it off like nothing. He said that is was not such a big deal. I was amazed to know that there was another man walking the earth with my man's identical FACE!
