where do black people get their names???
 

If a mexican in america is named jose, rest assured there are joses in mexico.
an asian named chung, there's guna be chungs choppin it up in china

But is anyone named jamal or shenaynay in africa? Plz help me understand real black people of nc

urbanization, inner-city poverty, and a skewed sense of what's socially acceptable in the white man's world.

Ahh thank you

Mods, close thread please. Its purpose has been served

I've heard some are just made up, others combined names of parents.
But then again I'm white so I'm no expert on it.
Some are tight though, I'll probably make up my kid's name.
Lacedarius Dunn and Benjarvus Green-Ellis always sounded dope to me

And why is it some people would be dumbfounded if i named my kid jevon or deandre? Are those names reserved or something? Black people are no better than us other brown folk. Better than whites sure, but not us.

You're brown and you'd call your kid DeAndre?
Haha you're a real sick person man, that kid would hate life and you even more.

But why is it okay if you call your black son mike or billy?

LOL love that Key and Peele sketch.

The names are creative but come on man.

Gotta give your child something their future co-workers can pronounce at least

Jamal is a legit name though...

Black people get there names from..:....



Drum rollllllllll



Their parents

Because they're american names. This is America, english is our national language.
It's not just black people dipshit, you haven't met asians named Dan or Alex?
You think that someone of french nationality would call their son Pierre instead of Peter if they were born and lived here?

Some of you have IQ levels far below the norm

I have a black friend named billy. It is quite alright

Or sadly, in most cases..

their pareNT.. aka Momma

English isn't our national language. We don't have a national language.




I would name my kid, whatever name I thought would fit him yo

Woah woah man negativity...
