I like the fact that we are the only group of people that doesn't try to assimilate with what white culture finds acceptable for names.

Some Arab will come to this country named Ishmil, and turn around and tell everybody to call him Jim in order to fit in. Or some asian named Yamamoto will come here and tell everyone to call him Carrey. always looked at them as sell outs for placating like that.

Black folks said fukk that, you gonna accept me that way i am. i'll name my kid Charcuturity Boardisha if i want to and you gotta deal with it.

I have no problem with this, anybody hating is a c00n imo.

Two things could be true at once tho.

We could bucc the system without naming our children Master or Legend :dead:

This stance stems from my childhood.
I had a friend in middle school. Her name was Andrea Martinez. I had just moved to the south with my parents and this particular community was extreme racist. me and her clicked because we were the only "ethnic" students in the advanced AP class at our school. Halfway through the year, her family changed their last name from Martinez to Martin. since they were white latinos that were white in appearance, that's all it took for them to get away from that ethnic label. Never looked at her quite the same after that, (even though realistically it would probably her parents doing and not hers)

but i'm rambling, my point is, i have more respect for the goofy names like Sharknisha than i will ever have for non english person having an english name.

Me personally i would go with something with a lil meaning like instead of naming your son King or your Daughter Princess. You use a term from your ancestors that means king or princess. like Oba or something

You sure you know Arabic ppl like that, most Arabic ppl don’t do that even after what 9/11 caused. Indians I know do that but that’s usually if they convert to Christianity. East Asians I can understand because ppl constantly mispronouncing your name and you constantly have to correct them gets tiring

Some names are better than others, :mjlol:

but other groups have bad names too. White people will call themselves dikk or Gaylord with a straight face. Asians will pull out a Phuc Dat Cok like its nothing
