Lori and I have always wanted a girl, and it seems we're fourth time lucky. Nkemjika Chloë Ogbuji was born 16 August 2010 at 2:26am weighing 7lbs 9oz, and 21in long (I'm sure all those archaic units of measure mean something).
Nkemjika is Igbo for "What I possess is greatest." Short form "Nkem." Chloë is of course from the Greek for "blossom," and echoes her parents in its letters. It's a sacred epithet of Demeter, which I find especially satisfactory. She is of course preceded by her brothers Ositadimma ("Osi"), Jideobi ("Jide") and Udoka, who have all been extraordinarily good big brothers so far.
