What does okonkwo name the children born to him in mbanta?

Okonkwo has many children: Nwoye: son of his first wife. Obiageli: daughter of his first wife. Ikemefuna: adopted son. Ezinma: daughter of Ekwefi Nkechi: daughter of Ojiugo Nneka: first child born to Okonkwo in Mbanta. "Mother is Supreme." Nwofia: son born 2 years after Nneka. "Begotten in the Wilderness." Onwumbiko: "Death, I Implore you." Third children borne to Ekwefi who dies in his fifteenth month. Ozoemena: "May it not happen again." 4th child of Ekwefi, born after Onwumbiko. Dies in her eleventh month. Onwuma: "Death may please himself." 5th child of Ekwefi. Other: - At least 6 other children are born to Ekwefi who die shortly after birth. - At least 4 other living sons besides Nwofia - Others not named. Note: Obiageli may actually be Ojiugo's daughter, but used by the first wife to deliver meals. Another possibility is that both Ojiugo and the first wife have daughters named Obiageli, or that the first wife's name is also Ojiugo. This could also be a continuity error by Achebe.
