Wednesday’s child will never be full of woe with the lyrical name Kuukua. This feminine appellation is beloved in Ghanaian language and culture and stems from Akan and Fante roots. Kuukua lightly trips off the tongue, yet its chime holds millennia of ancestral charm and tradition, inspired by naming your child after the day they were born. Meaning “born on Wednesday,” Kuukua brings some of that Friday feeling to the middle of the week to celebrate everything that is baby.
