Dolores (pains), Socorro (help) are very usual Spanish names for girls. and Justo (fair) for boys. I know people whose names is Valle (valley, a girl), Pino (pinetree) who is my teacher, Puerto (my ex-landlady), Manso (the feeble person, a boy I used to study with), Marciano (an alien for Mars who really was a man who lived in the flat next to mine some years ago), and now I have just remembered Domingo (it means Sunday, a man who used to work with me some years ago)
My name is Lovemore and I am well respected Surgeon here in Dallas Tx, and who are you to judge others. I am proud to be who I am. Make better use of your Time Sir. You did even say your name and what does that say about you!!
This guy is funny and has a point. Many of the names he uses to illustrate his point are spot-on, vanaKissmore haaiti kuremedza mwana. Problem iripo ndeyekuti mufesi uyu haanzwisisi context ye naming in Shona culture e.g. mwana akanzi Tongogara or Takawira those names have historical echoes to the struggle against colonialism. Most Shona names are fine by me but ari problematic ndeana Museum nanaMaybe.
Ma Zimbabwean names tell a story...while you laugh about them they were designed to explain oratorily what was going on at the time .....Fungai for instance may mean a serious decision had to be made concerning circumstaces facing the family.Netsai to me implies many things....war times this encouraged ppl to stand for their rights...not to be laughed about.I would not simply deduce withput knowing the background.Toshiba for instance may mean That their first Radio system was a Toshiba and its.Its ok to be Who Zimbabweans are.It actually takes us to the family stories narrated through names in the culture.....Not necessarily a Negative thing...
Ahahahahahahahahahaha this is a dynamite clip,whos that dude with an Aunthenic accent,I am still laughing I can relate to this,that what guys talk about at the LOCAL ! Keep it UP!
I dont know why maZimbos are hating on this video. this guy is speaking TRUTH. and u all know this is true. this is soo very funny hahaha wow, plis zimbabwean parents rethink before u name your kids, lol but mostly i love my country and i'm proud to be a zimbabwean :) hah
Kwirirai= prosper, muponesi=one who salvages/ saves bad situation, eg, a marriage saved thru birth of kid, a kid born during hurricane recently saved whole fam . coz they all went to the hospital in their absence their home was razed to the ground. last= last child born,fungai= hating relatives / friends to think abt what they are doing,muchaneta= directed at hating relatives/ relatives, nt at kid (nhamo, kufa, kissmore, tichafa, tragedy, netsai,museum,lust,vengai shorai i do nt like either)
Some of these names sound a bit off but when you sit back and consider these names they are not as I'll intentioned as they sound. Zimbabweans have always given names with meaning and sometimes that carries on into English names.
I think you have a point, and of course your point is on humor but this is not unique to Zimbabwe alone, at times its a matter of contextualization, but check out all languages do have these Funny names and no Big Deal.
my point is that it is a name the just because it is not common does not negate the fact tht it is a name and that is no reason for it to be unacceptable. most names of months have been used as names of people for years and tht also includes august which he listed here.
This was very funny. I was just having this conversation with my mum a few weeks ago. Itai is my uncles name & I've always found it to be a strange name. LUST, LAST, MUSEUM, KISSMORE???? hahahahahahaha Kufa, Tichafa & Tragedy are horrible names.

the funniest bit about this clip were the credits lol!!!!!!
Some of these names sound a bit off but when you sit back and consider these names they are not as I'll intentioned as they sound. Zimbabweans have always given names with meaning and sometimes that carries on into English names.
I know people called Never and Silence. lol
August is after Augustin Ces. and bare in mind kuti some kidz are named after somethingz that has happen b4

I once met a girl named Lizzard, but taimuziva saLizzie hahahahaha...We need to step our names up peeps...but it's not a problem yemaZimba chete...
ko guys have u ever heard this one "Under-the-table"....that one killed me!!!
For sure!
I think you have a point, and of course your point is on humor but this is not unique to Zimbabwe alone, at times its a matter of contextualization, but check out all languages do have these Funny names and no Big Deal.
I hope you guys realise that at the credits, the words on the left are also names...

hahaha this was worth watching
note that even isn't a common name-just because one white famous person has that name doesn't mean it's acceptable!
Parents should call their kids names not words
my point is that it is a name the just because it is not common does not negate the fact tht it is a name and that is no reason for it to be unacceptable. most names of months have been used as names of people for years and tht also includes august which he listed here.
