"
Chinwe" means "God owns", and "-otuto" probably comes from "Otutodilichukwu" meaning "
Glory be to God" (see here:

I don't have any problem with it since it's ethnic and presumably from the parents culture. Combining it with

Alex, and presumably they're African-American, maybe
Naomi is even a family name.
