  Newborn babies are sometimes named after the day they were born on, though this is no longer commonly used. Names such as Mgbeke (maiden on the day of Eke), Mgborie (maiden on the Orie day) and so on were common among the Igbo people. For males Mgbo is replaced by Oko (Igbo: Male child) or Nwa (Igbo: Child). An example of this is Nwankwo Kanu, a popular footballer.
