  Thank you so much for this wonderful piece. I had a good read. I am currently working on personal names in Ghana, and I find your article a good point of reference. I have a question; I would appreciate your response. You made mention of "the nation's ongoing journey towards knowledge. What is your locus of enunciation? I would also like to know if you think the name Cape Coast University should be changed.
  
  My focus is on your advocacy for the names of institutions like Akenten Appiah menka and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science are individualized names, making students who may not align with these people find the name confrontational. Let's say I am an Ashanti, schooling in Cape Coast, do you think the name Cape Coast should affect my academics?
