Videos shared from the christening captured the new parents beaming alongside family and friends as they marked the special occasion.

The pastor offered prayers and blessings over the baby, expressing hope that she would grow up to make a meaningful impact on her generation.

The couple named their daughter Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas.

The full name immediately drew attention online, with many noting how it weaves together two distinct cultural heritages.

Nana Efya Ankyaa reflects the mother's Ghanaian roots, while Oluwateniayo draws from the father's Yoruba background in Nigeria.

Efya's wedding celebrations drew several prominent figures from Ghana's entertainment scene, including Nana Ama McBrown, Becca, Gyakie, Sefa, Adina, EL, D-Black, and Kwaw Kese.

The seven-part name became the most-talked-about detail of the entire celebration, with Ghanaians taking to social media to share their thoughts.
