You gotta put your child's future into consideration when naming them.

[Colin X]

As much as I wanna say "names shouldn't matter" they do


Rich people can name their children whatever the fukk they want cause they won't ever HAVE to be judged by someone or people. Average folks, like most on the Coli can't do that and their children won't have that freedom


Unless you are rich and your children won't have to work a day in their life.
Or you own a business that you hand over to your child when you feel they're ready.


Them rich actors and artists name their children shyt like Rocket Zot and Rainbow Aurora cause they gonna be in private school with their other rich friends, then go to a private university, then travel the world doing whatever the fukk they want to.


LeBron could name his kid Ty'QuanShenKinDerius and that kid would be cool in life. Cause at the end of the day, Nike gave his dad a billion dollar deal.


That nikka Damion with a small apartment who's a manager at Walmart can't do that.

I'm gonna try and give my children a unique but at the same time a name that wouldn't have them clowned in school or what have you.

How come nobody get in these people ear, like yo you fukking up your child's future with that dumb name.

I agree. If you want to get creative or give your child a non english sounding name, then let that be their middle name

or you could try to get name-blind laws on the book. other countries have experienced with these types of laws. i'm guessing instead of a name u list an ID to identify yourself on applications. Even with a white first name some surnames reveal your ethnicity (even for blacks).

also, u have to draw the line. first u erase your names to comfort them and what's next? everything about us makes them uncomfortable & studies show that creative names across races only negatively affects blacks. it's not the name that offends them its your race.

Completely agree but 1999 raises some good points.

While true at least you have higher chances of getting an interview. I have known whites that have told me that their hiring managers' behind closed doors throw black sounding names in the trash. Every one isnt going to be an entrepreneur and Blacks still dont have communities were we can hire our own in mass. As of right now we have no choice but to play the game

What if you had a baby mama and she named your child Falondriannaiqua or some shyt like that?

 

[Reginald Noble]

My father named me Harambee

Why is it surprising?

Rich people can do whatever they want and it won't hurt their children like it would for regular people

I understand what you sayin, but like I said, unless you got the resources to give your children freedom from that shyt, don't make it even harder for them.
