Some of the names given by the older generation had a purpose. For example, in some communities, they gave you the name of a fierce animal if the child born just before you had died before you were born. This was meant to ward off the spirit of death. I gues it worked as the kids are grown ups now still passing on the name without understanding the purpose.
We need people who can document our cultures so that we can understand ourselves as taught by the African and not the white man.
p.s As far as Nigeria goes, I think that after naming about 130M people, one has very little creativity left
