So, what do you think the parents are thinking when they choose these names?
Do they think they're cute names? Do they want something that will help their kid stand out in a crowd and/or be memorable?
It does seem more common for blacks to choose unique names.....or am I off-base, or worse yet, a racist? Some of the names posted here do sound like they could be a Asian names translated to be English-like....I work with some people who have done that to make it easier for folks in the US to pronounce or relate to.
