Kerry Washington and daughter both have Igbo names.

Hollywood Actress Kerry Washington revealed 2 days ago that both her and her daughter have Igbo names. She is married to NFL Star, Nnamdi Asomugha, a Nigerian Igbo man. She revealed this in her  interview with InStyle magazine March 2015 issue.
See what she said:
     “Nnamdi’s parents are Nigerian immigrants. His father passed when he was young.           When you  marry into the Igbo culture, you get a new name. My name is Ogechi. I wear it on a necklace my mother-in-law gave me.”  She also revealed her daughter's name.
“My daughter’s name is Isabelle Amarachi. Isabelle is my grandmother’s name. She was a bad-ass. She’d be scowling if she knew I called her that, but she was an immigrant from Jamaica who raised seven children alone in the Bronx. Isabelle’s middle name, Amarachi is Igbo for ‘God’s grace,” she said.

Truth be told Igbo names are cute! lolz.....
