Wait, wait, wait - did you just accuse native Africans of "appropriating" names from those countries' colonial language? As in, the language it would be more advantageous for an inhabitant to speak, because they were colonized?
Please tell me you're joking.

These countries haven’t been colonized for 40-70 years. There is no advantage for assimilating to the colonizer in 2017.

Agreed.
I agree with you.
Honestly, this woman went through more than any 24 year old should ever ever ever go through and didn't just survive through 200 surgeries but she also found meaning out of it (not that people are required to do so). She's overcome a huge amount to have this child and she also overcomes a lot every single day to deal with the disfigurement and ongoing medical needs of her condition. So I was more interested in the name rather than the cultural appropriation that doesn't seem as pronounced as when a normal privileged white person just chooses a meaning that they "love". I don't know if that makes sense?
