"The GA tribe, which originates from the Accra region, speaks a language also known as Ga. These people do not normally use the day-of-the-week naming system.  Children generally take their father''s surname: commonly Ankrah, Dodoo, Lampitey or Oti.  Males are often given the name Nii, while females are often given the name Naa.  A second name is sometimes added to show the child''s seniority in the family: Nii Aryee (second-born son), Nii Amoo (third-born son).

Other families use a similar system, with a first name that indicates gender and a middle name that indicates birth order:

1st born son          Nii Lante      

2nd   R     R         Nii Lanti

3rd   R     R         Nii Lankwei

1st born daughter     Naa Lamitey

2nd   R     R         Naa Lamiorkor

3rd   R     R         Naa Lenkai
