Keitetsi Means ‘Fearless’. Choose An Appropriate Name When Christening Your Baby

The name Keitetsi means ‘Fearless’ and the story of her fighting in Uganda and killing soldiers before she even became a teenager certainly suggests her name is appropriate.

A name is perhaps the most important thing parents will give their baby, apart from life itself. Some of the names we see when we make our personalised christening gifts are less suited to the kids who bear them. The publicity many celebrities receive when giving their offspring unusual names is not helpful. There is a fashion to give a baby a made up name or a traditional name with a different spelling. Parents should remember that that cute little baby boy will probably grow to be a strapping six footer and a name that seemed cute when he could be cradled in one hand may not be suitable in later life.

Keitetsi was fighting and killing at a time when most kids are running around the playground at school. Keitetsi wouldn’t know the meaning of bullying, but a child with a weird name is a target for teasing from other children. Think carefully when choosing your baby’s name.
