There is also a wealth of information that I don't have access to at the moment linking names like Kiesha and stuff to Kongo @Diasporan Royalty @IllmaticDelta @DrBanneker @Supper prob know what I'm talking about more than I do. maybe @The Odum of Ala Igbo has seen something also like what I am talking about
There is another motherland connection with nicknaming, Tiny for big people, Kinky, Bo, Black, Red etc have deep, some ancient ties.
I don't like these vids because they really leave/start a lot of this stuff at the enslavement era/Maafa/Mmuso Kese which is not the whole truestory but

I like these concise videos. Latin(roman) and Greek names were and are still pretty popular too. Games like Demetrius, aries, Evander, julius, Maia, Nona, venus, etc.
It's amazing how many people see those kind of names as 'Black names' despite the fact they're literally thousands of years old

Hilarious. A pale ginger Irishman is basically the opposite of what you expect a 'Tyrone' to look like

This is what happens when you are God body yet still pushed to the margins of society. We are the most creative people on this planet and it’s shines thru in everything we do

yeah, the majority of the so-called stereotypical "black" sounding names that you see aframs with are actually white (irish, greek, italian, spanish, english)/arabic/jewish/biblical names

I noticed that about african american names a long time ago when i first move here. Speaking about de use of typical european names with "De" added to the beginning. Quoting some of my old post from 2016 . See below:
And to be honest i dont care for those extra creative "black names "either. Dont cget me wrong some are mad cool. But some mofos need to chil with the creativity. All these apostrophes and sh!t be killing me.
But we (various ethnicities) all have sh!t we like.
- Black americans, i noticed in one of the popular trends is the pattern is adding "De" to traditional European names. Exhibit A: Devante, DeSean, DeShawn, DeAnthony, D'Angelo, D'Brickashaw , DeBri, DeAndre, DeMario, DeMichael, DeMarcus, DeMarre, DeWayne
- Haitians ...
Them fukkas like to add "God" and sometimes "Jesus" into names. Example: DieuFort (God strong) or DieuDonne (God Giveth) or Dieu Seul (God only) or Jesula (Jesus is here) Oh and dont get me started on hood Haitians who like to add "son" to every freakin name
- Costa Ricans i noticed have various creative ways of spelling the name that sounds like Adriana. Them Ticos be wilding with that sh!t. When i lived in CR i swear every chick i met was named Adriana or Adryena
- Jamaicans and Bahamians tend to use old school british names and add their own spin to it. Trinis.. not so much
Are black names really that hard to pronounce for them or are these cacs trolling?
When it comes to creative names black americans may have the reputation for it but it is not a stricly black american thing. I've met black Costa Ricans a d black Panamanians with with those 'creative' names too. Tho black americans tend often go with traditional Anglo-Saxon names and add "De" or "Le/La" in front of it and ride with it. DeShawn, DeMarcus, Demario, DeAndre,DeLeon, DeWayne, LaMarcus, LaShawn, etc.
MY people?
Hood Haitians are Obsessed with English named that end with "son'. Nickenson, MackSon, Jackson, Mackenson, SonSon (yeah you read that right) and the list goes on and on. My dad was saying this was as a result of the American invasion and occupation of Haiti in the early 1900s. Some Haitians heard the fancy english names like Jackson and and became fascinated with the sound
Country ass haitians love name with Jesus and God mentioned in them. My GrandFathers's name was "Dieu-Fort" which translates to "God is Powerful" . ANother favorite is DieuDonne" (God Giveth), Jesus-La (Jesus is here), Dieu-Seul (God Only), Dieu-Benit (God Blessed) and the list of fukkery names goes on and on.
Or even worse they name kids names like Innocent, Prudence, Proverbe (like Proverb), Prospere ( prosper), an d on and on
City folks clown them for it
You check all ethnicities and you'll find some of the same fukkery by parents

According to my dad (R.I.P.) that started way back in 1918 during the American occupation on Haiti. Some haitians became infatuated with the sound "son" and it just went from there. Read the spoilers from my post above. the generation before my mom's (now in their 80s) have a shyt load of Wesners and Jacksons first names in there. Also a lot of them are German names from when a lot of germans started moving to Haiti in late 1800s and early 1900s. Because Haitians refused to let foreigners own land in Haiti they would go and marry Haitian women and many german haitians came about that way

Didn’t touch on the Nation of Islam and other social movements that left those naming conventions with us. He’s white , though so i understand.
My name is of Arabic origin and it was selected because my father early in his life was involved with the NOI.
Damn near every Black nikka in Brooklyn or Harlem name Shameek, Jair or one of them shyts. That’s from the NGE.

You are either lying or mistaken on this one. No Haitian would name their kids Toner because of what it mean in kreol/Frenchtoner
No sane Haitian is gonna name their kids English names like
- Walter
- Sharron
- Chante/Shantae/Shante
- Coco
- Craig
All those, when pronounced in Kreyol will come out sounding like things that noone wants to be called. Sharron for example is way too close to what we pronounce CHAWONN. Chawonn = FILTH.
Toner would be pronounced like Tonère which is a curse like when you English speakers say "damn" in Enlish. Again... no way a haitian naming their kids that. I can go on and on with many English names that no Haitian who speaks kreyol would want no part of.
