West African(ghana/Akan) names

When it comes to african names... many only touch the surface with Muslim names; like fatima.. and what not.... when there's so much more , to the point I feel there should be a distinction between muslim names and traditional west african Ghanaian/akan names.. 

Both are beautiful, I just don't like that one overshadows the other.. 

Anywho, without further or do, I give you...ghana/akan names ^^  

(under construction; I have alot of names to add ^^)

The Akan people of Ghana and the Ivory Coast frequently name their children after the day of the week they were born and the order in which they were born. Most Ghanaians have a name using this system (think Kofi Annan, whose name means born on a Friday).
