"There is no self-determination in an Indian woman having a eureurasiaan name."

Such an obvious fact eludes so many people today. Names, especially Kmtyw names, convey information. If information is power...

This very subject has been on my mind lately. The sister (respectfully) held her ground and pulled no punches.

At present, I'm wondering is it "better" (for lack of a more fitting word) for one to "take" a name for themself OR do something like what the sister suggested and receive a name in a communal setting OR even go with a divination?

Also, I thought it was interesting that as she pointed out, like here in the United Snakes, one can "legally" change their name without a whole lot of push back.  As important as it is to reconnect nominally, I can agree with folks who choose to identify themselves with their Kmtyw name WITHOUT going to massa to get his permission to reclaim it. Just my two cents...

I have had the same thoughts pertaining to getting permission from our enemy to change from my enemy name.

On your former point, I went the Akan route. My first name is my day name, Yaw, born on Thursday.

Asare, I got from my son when he was barely 2. He kept saying it, didn't know it was a name until an elder told me it was one of his in phone convo, then it clicked. So I figured the ancestors were speaking through my son.

My last name, Aboagye, I received through a divination. I was glad the decision was taken out my hands. And not choosing something that translates like "born ruler strong intelligent warrior savior of your people" type thing.

However you arrive in a name though just arrive there.

I really like your explanation. I'm Thursday born as well but I prefer the "kw" beginnings of male names in Akan, so when I found out that Kwao was a variation of Yaw - I was all for it.

I chose Shabaka as a second name 1. - in honor of our Great Ancestor Nesut, but also to try and truly be Pan-Kmtyw incorporating a name from various cultures/nations.

I've chosen Adewole as a surname, because to me it's a testament to my Kmtyw RE-birth, embracing the reality of being a member of our noble race. Coincidentally, I recently got the results of a DNA test, and my maternal ancestry is Yoruba, so as it turns out, Adewole is a good fit for now. I'm not certain if I'll "keep" it or not yet, but if not I may go for  divination to determine what it should be. I am also VERY interested in Ifa, so maybe I should consider initiation to correct my name.

My birth name is Paul Motingwa. I won't comment much on my first name, but my surname is Setswana (Tswana).

I once asked one of my  parents if I had an Kmtyw name, and they said my surname was also my middle name; that I was  named  after my paternal grandfather! I didn't buy it, until much later, my late father's sister said the  same  thing  (without me asking her).

Unfortunately I know very little of  my father family history, save for snippets related  to me by various relatives in casual  conversation. At least o It wn my mother's side an aunt who now has a Phd, once made a huge effort (with family help) to trace our family roots, back a few generations to beyond our (colonial) borders, and shared with the family at a reunion where relatives many of us didn't know were present.

Batswana are mostly patrilineal. I only distinctly remember two occasions   in my lifetime  where someone told me anything at all about my grandfather. It was my paternal aunt more recently, and an blind old man from my dad's village who was a relative of the chief.

My 'issue' with my surname is that it literally means 'a one who doesn't recieve a share'. Now for me it becomes 'double -barrel'!

If naming myself is the first step; I hereby name mysellf Maaha Pi-Maere Sutekh:hello:

I can explain..

As long as you hold a name legally you must answer to it. You are only the names you answer to jimmy. That is why I paid my money so I no longer have to answer to a slave name. I am no longer an alias

You go to massa to get paid, do banking, shop, pay taxes etc. there is power in forcing massa to call you Kunta Kente all the time and anytime he interfaces with you Toby.

I just watched sisterMazama’s video and it was the truth!! I’m looking for more of her videos onYoutube.

I had a dream aboutbeing given an Kmtyw name either for myself or one of my children: AyawaleEwende. I wanted to find out if this was a real Kmtyw name, so I contacted Obadele Kambon and he informed me that Ayawale was Yoruba and means “wife comeshome”. Ewende is also Yoruba and means “leaf” as in traditional medicine. Iknow this is not coincidence. I thought maybe the ancestors were naming me throughmy dream, so I thought about changing my name to Ayawale Ewende. I also dreamtthat a friend of mine was telling me the names of the people we came from:Odiki and Eshketi. I found some names of some people from Nigeria with Odiki astheir last name. I couldn’t find anything on Eshketi. I still want to be a partof a naming ceremony at some point for me and my children. Can’t wait to get aDNA test. Wouldn’t that be something if I found out I’m from the Yoruba tribeof Nigeria?!


I’m flippin’ the birdto these white devils who thought they can take our identity from us. Theancestors and are alive and well (and our Destiny Selves too) and are communicatingwith us drawing us to our destiny as Kmtyws. There’s no coincidence that weare all here on this website. Peace and blessings to you all!

There is a long history of Kmtyw folks changing their name in the u.s. And if you're thinking of the NOI, long before them, ask Frederick Douglas. A lot of troubles, mis-understandings and disdain for name changing comes out of ignorance. On the flip side, I bet your family has nickname(s) for you. Also ask them who their favorite artists/entertainers are. I bet they are "calling one of them out of their name" if you feel me, with no problems.

Part of the power of taking an Kmtyw name is the nay-sayers,etc. show themselves and present you with a growth pathway.

Defining oneself puts others in the space of either respecting you or not. People you are truly capable of loving you will respect your right and duty to Kujichagulia and call you by your new name. Sadly many of our family members do not deeply or truly love themselves and are consumed by self hate as a casualty of the intellectual and spiritual war we are in. Most of us are casualties of war in that way. I don't buy this stuff about they have always called you so and so and can't remember your new name. Or the even more mentacidal "why can't you honor your father by using 'his' name." I notice that those who refuse to use my Kmtyw name and call me by the disgarded slave name of my forefathers "owner" are, when in the process of misspeaking me/calling me out my name are forced to encounter their own slave mentality/mentacide. They are subconsciously pained to do so. They consciously are not aware of what is going on. I have come to where I can perceive  their cognitive dissonance and dysphoria. This is why I think they always hesitate or otherwise strain in the process of calling out the slave name. This although sad and pitiable is toxic to you. It is more fuel for the warrior fire in my soul to fight for Abibifahodie.
 
I think just like one handles people with toxic personalities one must learn to "sandbox" toxic mentacidal victims of yurugu mind f**k ing.  As with computer operating systems that isolate certain code. Not out of a sense of spite or disdain or uncaring but out of the need to protect oneself. Keep them in a place where they can do no harm to you emotionally mentally or otherwise. If they are of no real importance to you you don't ever have to visit their sandbox. Put them out of your life. If they are important,  you must be aware that they have toxic psychic and emotional wounds that will infect you if you let them. Do not allow them to drag you to their "sunken place". Keep your interactions with them short and circumscribed and the nature of which you limit specifically to areas you know they cannot wound you. This is something that all healthy people do.

Some of us are fortunate to have family that are healing and do not suffer seriously from mentacidal post/current slave syndrome, and can be interacted with without limits. Most of us do not. This is to be expected as a consequence of the war we are in. The battle field our minds and the minds of our children.

Part of the burden of becoming conscious and healing is having to deal with friends and family who are not. DEwhiteinzing and REKmtywizing  are very similar to going into recovery from addictive illness. You are clear and feeling more and more powerful and correct and on purpose yet most of those around you are in a mentacidal daze and continue the self destructive patterns they always have with little insight into their plight and little proclivity to hear you when you point out their mentacide and encourage their growth.

This situation is very similar to the alcoholic or drug addict or Jesus freak or flesh eater in recovery. Most of those you used to interact with are addicts and as is the nature of the addictive process have no awareness of their addicted condition and have no desire to get some. To stay in recovery the healing addict must "sandbox" their old acquaintances/friends/family who are actively addicted. Those in early recovery from slave mentality/mentacide must do the same. Continuing to interact without clear boundaries and limits and a safe place to withdraw and be around those who are conscious will imperil the healing Kmtyw warriors consciousness.

The interesting thing is that just like recovered alcoholics, growing and empowering Asafo find the old hang outs and people boring and a waste of time. Going to church or hanging out at the bar or club with the gang at the game have less and less appeal and will be replaced by new acquaintances and activities that are about abibifahodie and justice.

Know that when one is living on purpose Oludumare and our Abosom/Nananom brings others also on purpose to our lives to work together for abibifahodie. The illusion of loneliness is just that -- an illusion. New people who are healthy and about healing and fighting this war appear in your life.

All that is not to say we should abandon those we love. When we are clear and have a safe haven for your loves ones to escape to, by all means we must go back for them it they will come. Unfortunately most are not interested and suffer from Stockholm syndrome/reverse drapetomania. However remember the famous Harriet Tubman quote where she said she brought a lot of our people to freedom and could have brought a lot more had they known they were enslaved.

Keep on keeping on.

Abibifahodie.

meda ase @Agya Yaw,

you have made a logical argument that i agree with. that lets me know it will not work on other people that do not think of themselves as Kmtyw. i think i will need something illogical like turn the other cheek or something.

i'm planning on reading Douglas' autobiography.

I think you answered your own question.  It's the same oppressive system that enslaved our ancestors in the first place.  Dr. Amos Wilson reminds us that the basic relationship has not changed from those times to now.

I understand.  But unfortunately we are in this situation.  I would say if that is a goal of yours then do it that way as a matter of strategy over policy and be done with it.  It's only legal in the sense of being part of this illegal system. Are you headed in that direction?

I am brother. Not just for myself but my family also.  I just got my daughters' name changed,(I literally received the court approval today in the mail), the process is much easier and they are no longer carrying on their slave name. We started a new legacy. As for myself, I've renamed myself two years ago but still wrestling with the idea of going thru the tedious legal process.

I have issue with amerikkka to begin with. Living in amerikkka is a hassle to begin with.

Let me ask you  about drivers license? Passports? Bank accounts? Taxes? Professional certification? Hospital/medical issues? Retirement/ social security?  Parental rights? Employment? If you don't deal with any of these then maybe why bother.

In each situation you must present your "real" name. And answer to it. Not your alias which you go by among your Kmtyw acquaintances.  

Whether you like not it or not you are a citizen (second class) of united snakes and as long as you are you must abide by the rules. Or you can live a criminal life and risk enslavement at anytime. Try changing your name in prison.

If you don't like that situation leave and renounce your citizenship.

But now having moved to Kmt now try and change your name. See how how easy that is.

Changing your name although a hassle legally is power of word. Never having to acknowledge a slaver yurugu that held your ancestors captive to anyone at anytime is well worth the hassle.

Women change their names all the time sometimes several times in a lifetime just because of the "oppressive" marriage convention.

Does not changing your name because you don't want to go through the steps really makes sense?

Are you willing to go through the steps to repatriate?

Are you willing to go through the steps to free yourself?

Or is it more convenient to go by Toby on the plantation?

All great points, believe me, I have thought all that thru, and I am willing to repatriate (that is definitely within my plans) but I'm still not fully convinced in regards to the legal name change process. Its more than a pride thing, which I swallowed enough to do the name change for my children, but when it comes to self-identity and self-determination, but you have to go thru the government to claim it, they're dictating everything, it doesn't make sense. I am free when I liberate myself, not when the gov approves some petition.

@Hi Free-quency
would you mind posting the general process for name changing for those of us too lazy to look it up (me, has not been part of my plan yet) and any issues we should know about? i do think you will take the next step when you are ready. it hit me that i would feel horrible when my daughters or maybe someone else asked me why we do not have the same name.

would you mind posting the general process for name changing for those of us too lazy to look it up (me, has not been part of my plan yet) and any issues we should know about? i do think you will take the next step when you are ready. it hit me that i would feel horrible when my daughters or maybe someone else asked me why we do not have the same name. Good Luck to you.

Remember your name is your legal entity. Unless you have citizenship in a country they have no legal agency for changing your name. The us government is not likely to want to issue you a new passport while overseas because you went to a foreign government or spiritual leader to change your name. Sorry many of us were born in enemy territory and thus are under legal control of the government there. If you want to operate legally as your Kmtyw name you will have to have it legally changed in the us. As long as you are a us citizen you will need a us passport. You have to petition the us government to renounce your citizenship. See other threads on that issue.

If you are too lazy to look up how to change your name in your state you are too lazy for revolution or repatriation.

Name change is not done at the Supreme Court. It is done in state civil courts and requires a simple petition you can do without an attorney.

It's that simple

I took time to think through what you brothers said, but I'm going to stick to mu guns. This Dr. Amos Wilson quote elucidates my sentiment:

"To come to know ourselves as we were prior to our re-creation by aliens means we will be in charge of our own becoming, the creators of our own consciousness, the creation of ourselves as namers of the world, the namers of ourselves which gives us power of self-determination and self-direction."

Peace and prosperity

#WhatsMyName ? Will Black Americans DITCH Their 'Slave Names' On Juneteenth 2018? ?

The reason for changing my name legally was so that when dealing with the government or the economic system or foreign entities I never have to give or answer to a slave name. If you don't deal with any of the above then you got no problem just calling yourself whatever you want.

I realized after having received my Akan name for several years that I still had to in the professional world introduce myself and sign with a slave name. So I legally changed it.

Does one have a slave name on ones postal mail? Drivers license? Passport? Professional license? Pay check? Bank account? Titles for vehicles and property? Educational degrees and certificates?retirement or social security checks? Child support or welfare checks? Credit rating? Credit cards? But then give an alias Kmtyw nickname to your social acquaintances?

The question can legitimately come up about what are you trying to hide?

Yes there is a tax for living and doing business in a country. License fees, passport fees, title registration fees, etc. Part of that involves the use of a legal entity called your name. If you want to use a name you must register it unless you were given it at birth and it was registered for you. And for that there is a fee.

Many criminals use aliases to escape government notice. If you are trying to escape debt or prosecution then legally changing your name makes no sense. The process of legal name change is to make it possible for creditors and government agencies to be able to find you.

We don't want to legitimize the oppressive united snakes government yet we spend our lives paying it taxes and fees and voting. Yet when it comes to self definition we won't pay a penny.

We won't consider repatriation or even visiting Kmt.

If your parents did not have the consciousness to give you a proper name then part of the price for your psychological, psychic and legal freedom is to purchase the right to use a proper name from the state apparatus under which you reside.

There is more than one way to change ones name. If you live in the united snakes I recommend referring to the Nolo Press book on changing your name.

I did and found it very useful and it helped me change my name on all of my documents except one where the school had closed for business.

Malcolm X was famous and was well known by his name. Did he pay taxes as mr X? Did his drivers license and passport say Malcolm X? If they did he had to pay money to the government to make them so.

Is changing your name socially and not legally just posturing or showing off? Does being serious about changing the ones name mean taking the trouble to make it your name in all areas of human interaction? Using a slave name in any area of interaction was unacceptable to me. Is it to you?

If one doesn't have any of the above documents or any certifications that you need to conduct your business - you still have to put that slave name on your tax return and sign it on the back of your refund check.

The birth certificate is the notice that allows you to use a name legally not having otherwise having designated one. This is posted with the government.

I agree that we shouldn't have to go to yurugu to secure legal rights to Kujichagulia/naming ourselves. So let's create our sovereign nation so we don't have to.

Thinking about her point that without a name, it's as if the child never existed with regard to the question of do Ancestors exist before they reincarnate?
