they were migrants but I don't know from where, is that a popular/common name there? We just thought they may have been super religious

I don't know if that specific name is popular but I don't think it's uncommon to have names like that.

Seen some names like 'BlessingofGod' GodsGift'

names like these do not exist in my language, so that one really stood out for us back then

You KNOW African parents don’t hold back on the religious names. Kids are roaming around and when they tell you their names it’s Archangel and Blessed By God

I knew a girl from Cameroon named Beni de Dieu. Took me til high school to figure that one out (thanks, French class!). long story short, I was not impressed.

Lol, I have an acquaintance whose legal first name is Goddess and she’s Nigerian. She goes by her middle name (which is beautiful) instead.

is her middle name "Beautiful" or does she have a beautiful middle name?

I took it as if her middle name is "Beautiful" and did not even contemplate the idea that it may have been an adjective 🤣

Goddess actually sounds like a badass name, but I understand how it may be challenging

That's the way old school Puritan Christians in England named kids in like the 1600 and 1700s.

I had never heard a name like that before, it's a burdensome name, what if the kid will grow up not to be religious?

One of my cousin's friends named her son Say Praise, which made me think of Puritan slogan names when she told me. I scoffed for a split second, but then I liked it.
