1. Blackey
2. Ebony
3. Imani

Sh'Africa
God'is-Moi

she was italian! but i guess "ghetto" is an italian word, so...

I had two students named "Marquis" last year. And they didn't pronounce it like Marcus.

I also had Quonicus, Royal, Queen, Precious, a couple of LaToyas, hmm any strange names are leaving me now as I really no longer saw them as strange.

My sister-in-law's name is chaka.

and before you think i'm a racist / complete asshole (wait u already do...well someee of u _locals_ do), do i actually have to pre-emptively state that i am *not* trying to offend anyone here by giving into generalizations, and that i could just as easily list the most common indian or should i say DESI nicknames (of ppl whose natural habitat is the uni library's computer lab and wear 80s clothes "unironically" ) are stuff like Pinky, Tunku, and Bonny etc that few here would get, as well as those strange attempts at hinglish crossovers, like "Shaun," or "Neal / Neil" or "Jay / Jai" and "Sheila," "Lina," "Nina," and all that?!! k? (and im theoretically just an " ABCD" who's sold out with the englishization of my own nickname by spelling it w/ a C instead of a K on this board anyway, so i have no cred here)

oh, and i have problems buying that black female list. where is

Taneesha
Lakeesha
Chaunte / Shawn-tae (i've worked w/ like 3)
Shantiqua
etc ? i've known so so many

girls i went to school with: thayer, cameron, dwyer, laird, miller, carson, binney, carter, chase.

one of the jodeci guys was named devante!

Maxwell is my middle name and would have been my first name had my grandmother not protested that "that's a dog's name!"

Its because our parents are image-conscious sell-outs. I'd rather have been a Neil though...Neil is at least sexXxy

i would add eunice to vic's list of asian girl names. there were like 3 in my friend's youth group.

pls do not forget nik and raj!

i was taken aback.
