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

I'll put it like how my uncle's response was when I asked him about bob marley's kids and he mentioned ziggy. I said "what kind of name is ziggy" he responded with "what kind of name is *insert my name*" But the "dominant"society doesn't see it the way we see it when we name our kids whatever we want in the "black community" in many ways. It's almost as if we can't have our own style without it being judged or looked down upon. One of my many points which tilt the scale when "supremacy & privilege" are swept under the rug.

I'm giving my children some unpronounceable, old-school Somali names. Dead ass set on two already.

Names based in a specific region usually follow a set of rules that allow you to pronounce it correctly if you can decipher the country of origin. That's how those guys that call names at college graduations can pronounce damn near every name in the book correctly on the first try. The problem with a lot of the new black names is they aren't based on any set structure so you don't know how to pronounce them.

So the problem isn't that the names are unique, it's that they are unique in a way that makes them hard to decipher.

For me: I have seen names that made me go :dahell: that weren't "Ghetto" names, so that isn't even always the case when it comes to avoiding stupid names.

If a white person names their kid Dragonfruit, hell the fukk yea that name is stupid, and it will still be stupid if a black person does it. Some names are just flat out

dumb either due to how they come out phonetically,leading to endless butchering of it, or it sounds very closely to an existing product or something sexual.

For 3 years I had the nickname Digiorno :shaq2:My last name is as Euro as it comes and I fukking HATED that. If the name you gave your child elicits laughter or wincing, don't

try to get all indignant about it, just think real quick if you might have fukkED up, cause your kid will be made fun of by everybody. Betcha Apple be like:mjcry: sometimes.
