If YO MAMMY NAMED YOU DEVANTE

[intruder]

Ive always said i'd name my son either Didier or Alpha or Thierry.

@Don Draper
Only problem is if i'm still living in the U.S.A. it would be a problem. Americans.. well... english speakers, really, tend to butcher this name when they pronounce it. Just doesnt sound right the way y'all kill it

I didn't go through all pages so Idk if it was said in the here already, but there's children named Jodeci. nikkas were named Jodeci Smith & shyt, I realized this on Twitter. And some were white half of them don't even know they were named after a group

 

[CinnaSlim]

Barack too

Too many haitians in the U.S. for you to have never met someone named Blaise
Do you guys avoid ppeople from other cultures or something?

Y'all not everywhere like that. Not everyone chills with yall. We ain't gotta avoid y'all to not know a nikka named Blaise.

 

[My Name Is My Naaame]

Kaeirah
Jhamaryein

Or the unnecessary apostrophe
Ty'Tiana
Ja'Bari

Not saying Blaise is as common among Haitians as (say) Jahmal is among black americans but it's fairly common.

Or the unnecessary apostrophe

That one always killed me.

I also love how they'll substitute a C with a K or a Q just to have a unique spelling. And like i mentioned in this post ( http://www.thecoli.com/posts/17211891/ ) all the 'De' added to traditional names be killing me. These women just looove themselves some 'De'

There is only ONE prince...

I hate names like King and Pharaoh. scust.

[Phoenix_Knightly23]

so you hate me

I'll make an exception for you

 

[peppe]

I know a ghaian chick who's named oumou after her mother, said it was a name used it a lot in her country. She is now engaged to nucca named oumou.

Because this is obviously about black people. We can only control what we do. fukk what they're doing/

Despite what people say there arent that many white people on the coli/

I'm white though, so I felt the need to point that out. Black people aren't the only ones guilty of bad name choosing. This couple in my high school named their kid Kurt Cobain.

Oh thats nothing , doggy.
Put it this way: i know people named after soccer players. As in their FIRST NAME is the Soccer Player's ENTIRE FIRST AND LAST NAME . And he's a dear friend of mine whom i grew up with.

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

I like taking mulitple names of fictional characters from old books and combining/mixing them together.

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

Those are actual names. But i see what you're saying. But understant that before Rap made them famous they were still names. So if Rap decides to make "Michael" famous are we to just stop naming kids Michael?

Biblical / Angelic names will always be popular.

Sometimes i wonder if maybe black americans just love to prefix names with DE

• Devante
• DeSean
• DeShawn
  
• DeAnthony
  
• D'Angelo
• D'Brickashaw
  
• DeBri
  
• DeAndre
• DeMario
• DeMichael
  
• DeMarcus
• DeMarre
  
• DeWayne

Mostly traditional names with "de" added to them
But we all got our own obsession. With Haitians it's "Son". Hood haitians love to name their kids with names ending in "SON" dikkenSon. Mackenson. Mickenson. Nikenson. MackSon. SonSon (yes you read that right)

I'm Haitian and my first name ends with Son also. Hate that shyt. Gonna change my name when I leave my parent's house.

Always amazed me how creative theyy get with that sh!t too
I remember i was a kid in Haiti and this dude that used to do business with my dad named all 4 of his sons with names that ended in "son". When i met them and they introduced themselved I was trying hard not to laugh as my dad was pinching the fukk out of me with the "behave" look in his face.

But I fee you breh.I feel you. You're not alone out there. Think you and @Amethyst are in the same boat
