It's a lot harder to pronounce Shadaqarious than it is Justin. You do put your kids at a disadvantage when you give them crazy ass names.
You plan for your kids to be working for cacs 20 years from now? As a parent y'all not building nothing for them to run with?

I wouldn’t do it because most of my folks have old school names but if someone wants to name their child la-a (Ladasha) or something like that ... that’s on them ...

Off topic*
I once thought my last name was Italian, until I saw a census from the late 1700s of an enslaved 80 year old man with it. My folks are from a small island in Dominica. It didnt really make sense to me but maybe I descend from the great Moors?

I gave my son an African name meaning mouth of the river. I can give a shyt what others think, I dont work for no one and I'll raise him to be the same way if it comes down to it.

I have more than one name. Each serve a different purpose.

It's natural for us as to have many names!
Just be honest about it;
Purpose counts!

Hakeem, Jamal etc., might code as black...but that's way different than naming your kid Quantravious or Ashalawniqua or some shyt.

Of course there are a lot of names that are viewed as "black" names with ancient roots.

Darius is Persian/Iranian, but you pretty much only see brehs named Darius. Tyrone is Irish, but again, how many white Tyrones do you know under age 60?

Shabba ranks is his artist name not government
Nah really:comeon:
Shabba is a cool enough and common enough name that I doubt anyone would make fun of.

I'm talking about people may have made fun of his government name Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon.

I wouldn't name my kids anything over complicated just for the sake of sounding black.

It's not even just about job interviews. People period will laugh at or take someone less seriously with a name that sounds stupid. People that have complicated names have to sound out their name, spell it out for people, correct people if they pronounce it wrong.
