Why do whites think black people should name their kids white sounding names instead of unique names?

[Ayana Linval]

I get where you are coming from, but you know that some mothers who happen to be black name their kids "especially their daughters" pretty stupidly. I know the stereotype you're talking about, but I also happen to know that the people who stand behind it aren't asking you to name your kids "white" names. They're making fun of people who...

A: Name their kids common "white" names, then proceed to spell them in the dumbest ways possible ensuring that their kids will have nothing but headaches when they see that their names are always spelled "wrong". From yearbooks to paychecks they will have to keep on going into get it changed because their parents decided to name them like say "Afrodite" which is one that I've seen before. Yes, I get it, you were going for Aphrodite and you thought that because she is a beautiful African American girl it would be clever.... no, no it wasn't, you're just terrible parents. Who the hell besides Greek people name their kids Aphrodite in the first place? And then to give your child a terrible pun for a name is borderline child abuse. Thought that was bad, it's nothing compared to this one. AlyxZandyr, yes, some retard wanted to make their kid "unique" by giving them this abortion for a name. It's still pronounced Alexander, but wow..... just wow. Oh and how about Kenzyngtyn yeah... I understand that white people can do stupid shit like this to, but honestly, it pops up a lot in the African American community. Though I guess it's better than rednecks naming their kids Hemi, Chevy and Dodge.

B: Just flat out stupid and invented names. If they wanted something unique they could have went with an actual African American name. They're unique, beautiful, and apart of the African American culture, but no. Oh no. These parents wanted to be UNIQUE! Like Sharlex, Shameia and her sister Shemaia, Zipporah and Xochiquetzal. There are also names where the parents said "TO HELL WITH THE RULES OF ENGLISH!" like TraeVion or Emma-LeE (I would like to note the second was obviously suppose to be Emily so falls into A, however, the dash paired with the capital to make it "a French sounding e" throws it under the bus and into this category) Emma-LeE is pronounced Emma-Lee-eh.... yeah. Again terrible parents. And as for X-tina, I think it falls in both A and B. If X-Mas = Christmas, then X-tina must = Christina!

C: Naming your kids after products, verbs, or adverbs.
Nevaeh, not only is this a brand of bottled water, this is Heaven backwards and is child abuse. Following backwards name for a sec I'm going to mention a trend in some black women coming through the local hospital naming their children after the absent father.... with the names backwards.... the kid is already not going to have a father, why are you doing this to them. Father's name = James. Child's name = Semaj pronounced ( Sa-ma-shay)....face palm. More names, Adorabelle, Afternoon, Avon<-makeup company, Cruz, Dancing, Danger, Destiny, Doctor, Evion<- MORE WATER, famous, and my all time favorites this month SUPERMAN <- in capitals, and Facebook, yes, facebook.

All races of people name their kids retarded names, however, this trend..... shows up a lot in the African American population I must say. White people that give their kids stupid names are usually rednecks who call their Daughters Mackaylah-Ray, and their sons Billy-Ray. Or they're glossy eyed stoners who name their kids River, Autumn, Spring, or after their great-great grandmother's calling them Delilah or Preston or George. But I have to say, even at the peak when white parents are naming their kids dork names like Xion and Arwen they still just can't keep up with black parents naming their kids Kenzyngtyn. But hey, maybe I'm bias, and who am I to talk. I've never run into another Ayana, but to be fair. I'm actually Icelandic and it's an Icelandic name after one of the Valkyries of war, it's actually my heretige unlike the people naming their daughters "Swahalli" sounding names.
