When you really think about it......
American Black people's last names came from White people/slaveholders who owned their families (in most cases). But when parents prepare to name their child, they have more of a say-so in the first name. It gives them a space to be creative.
I mean we laugh sometimes at "Toqueda", "Dayquan" and "Lameeka" , etc. But it's pretty cool that Black people in America have somehow developed a unique and very distinctive style of naming kids.
It kinda speaks volumes to Black creativity as a whole, when you really think about it.

Yeah good luck with that shit.

Sle is the only person on this site that knows my real name (Cody as well). Its one of those names if you see it once you'd remember it.
My dad wanted me to take his name (Salvador) and my mom wanted me name something else. So they just put them both together. Taking the first 2 letters of his and mixing it with the one she wanted. :plzstop:
:ohwow: I love it though. IDK if its gotten my application thrown in the trash when I used to apply at places.
People should honestly take pride in their names.

And I've seen your curly head too. Your memory is a mess :guys:
Why not
People should really be allowed to choose their own names when you think about it.

I'm very sentimental so my child's name would have to reflect my family's history.
If it's a girl she's definitely getting my bvy sis's name as her middle name, or maybe even first. :wub:
I plan on really teaching them as much as I know about where they come from.

My kids are getting Nigerian names

I hate my name.
I want to change it to something powerful.

Baph's name is Salamander guys :receipts:
And I always grew up HATING my name. But since cancer has pressed its foot on society's neck my name has become somewhat unforgettable :letsmessfag:
