Single mothers with baby hairs guaranteed to have fuked up kids names with zero future. Just trash.
Breh even got YouTube shorts making fun of them brehs that play football with the fuked up names




Jamaicans still have the GOAT strong names, tho….Kingston, Glenmore, Delroy, Zidane, Usain :banderas:

You are a fleeing tether. It’s irresponsible to give in to anti blackness. A name should not define someone’s life
oh my god, shut the fukk up with this fake militant shyt

In the real world, having a name like King Zerv'yon or some shyt that sounds like super villian is dumb and only goofy ass young single moms who dont know better do that. Responsible parents who are invested in their kid's future give them names that won't get them profiled or discriminated against immediately. All you are doing in ensuring that kid's life is unnecessarily hard for no reason at all.

Either you are a troll who sits in a room lonely pretending to be like this or you yourself have a kid named Legendary Quintillous. I'm pretty sure you are gonna reply with some goofy shyt though

Funny thing about these names, as much as people complain, All it takes is for one person with that name to become famous, then they suddenly accept it.

Shaq was literally the only person in the entire world named Shaquille back in 1991. Now its actually a common name for people these days.

Notice all of them were born after he was drafted to the Magic. And some of them are from other countries. France, Jamaica, English, Dutch, New Zealand. all around the world people named Shaquille now.
you're talking about a specific spelling. shaquille is still a version of the arabic shakil or shakeel. there are various spelling of Jalens, but no matter if Jaylen, Jaylon, Jaylin everyone knows it's based on Jalen Rose.

Point still stands

and honestly i suspect his mom didn't know anything about Shakil and just called him Shaquille because it rhymes with her name Lucille. But people often try to make things sound deeper after the fact. :troll:

iirc it started during the black power era (60s, 70s) when black people started rejecting european names for african or african sounding names.
I think that was moreso the muslim names era :patrice:

Jamal , omar, Amir, Ali, khalil, nasir , karim etc


The putting together of random syllables was much later. Maybe 90s?




Ive never really thought about it before, but jet skiing looks really fun. Im curious how somebody came up with the idea in the first place :ohhh:
