Find a name you like and and are comfortable with and name your child. Dont worry about what everyone thinks wether it's his future employers or his black 'friends' who wants him to keep it real. Just dont fukk it up something crazy like WaterMellondria or whatever the name was and have him teased to death and committing suicide by the 9th grade.
I personally would love to name my child an african name but it really isnt that serious. WHen i was younger i used to always say i'd name my son "Didier"...until my cousin stole my idea and named his first son Didier.Heck, many African name their child eurocentric names like "James" and "Didier". In their defense at least they at least have their last name to fall back on. I remember growing up I used to hear a lot of those haitian names or "haitian-made" names in Haiti kinda like the "black names" black americans have. Some of them were rather country-ish thus why city folks used to make fun of them as kids. Then when i moved here I's see black american kids with "black names" themselves make fun of Jamaican kids name.
Hell i'm sure many people in Jamaica probably made fun of Shabba Ranks name growing up and are now asking for his autograph
