I don't know if this is that serious. Name go through weird cycles where a particular name or group of names randomly becomes popular. A few years ago it all about Jaden, Jade, Jayden, Aiden, and their various spellings. Before that Jasmine and Jabari were popular. Before that everyone gave their daughters typically male names like Taylor, Tyler, Jordan. Before that Afrocentric names were popular amongst the black community, etc.

I found out that some African and Arab names got Anglicized centuries back, because White people couldn't pronounce them. I think that a name like Bailey is actually something like Bilali; which is a name that some Mandingo Muslim slaves had. There are other names like that, but I can't recall right now.

I don't know why but apparently Americans think Spain doesn't exist or that their history of colonialism didn't exist, and that brown indigenous people having their names and their language is just a coincidence.

All that you need to know about Americans is that the average one thinks that Africa is a Country. They also think that Egypt is in some place called the Middle East; even though they can not find a place called the "Middle East" on a map. They seem utterly perplexed and then defensive when they finally learn that Egypt is in Africa. Yes those are Trump voters. :francis:

Arguing semantics my name is of Hebrew origin, but y'all going off of stereotypes. "hood" or "ghetto black" names are actually of European origin(i.e. Tyrone) which is of Northern Ireland. Time to stop falling for media programming, the internet destroyed the containment of cac trickology. :martin:

Perception has a way of becoming true whether we like it or not.

"white names" lol

Most Christian names are middle eastern in origin. That includes the alphabet that we use to spell them.

That being said, "black" stereotypical names of today are somewhat new, before the 70s, most blacks had Christian names.

Not really. There are a lot of Black people born before the 1970's that had names like Denzell, Oprah, Odell, Flora, Bailey, Malik, Fatima, on and on and on. Names like Malik, Fatima and Bailey (Balali) were Muslim names that came with the slaves from their homelands. You should look at some of the Census records for Black people names going back to slavery times. White people usually could not pronounce the names, so the names became anglicized.

I know, what a shame. Instead of naming themselves after the whites that enslaved them, they should be naming themselves after the Arabs that enslaved them.

Then we probably should not name themselves after Africans either, because it was Africans that enslaved them and sold them to the Whites and Arabs.

So what names do we have left?

If you name your child based on what cac company they may someday work for 20 years later, you lost.

NOPE..my kids first names are picked out so they can fit in the society they grow up in..if they were born in china they would be chang or Lee,..if they were born in russia it would be something like Vladimir and Natalya..their second is my surname and their third is a grandparent...its a very cool system..we winning

first names are always given based on the current zeitgeist...give your kid a wild azz name you make them a target.
