jono;5487052 said:Michael Eric Dyson talked a lot about black people naming themselves after the fall of slavery. He found that blacks took the names of "good" white folks and used them for first or last names. The crazy first names go back pretty far too, I wouldn't say Africa, but slaves had names that sound like nicknames ("Boots"). Black folks also name their children through cultural things like the Qu'ran and the Bible ("Muhammad" & "John") or based off where they are from.
The ghetto names probably began when people started trying to be too different from whites. They started naming their children after things with meaning, then it dissolved to just random ass hyphenated or apostrophied names. Crazy ghetto names also come from parents putting their names together ("Tyroneisha", "Jeriesha").
Its a long history when it comes to how names got how they are.

FOH, those names are fucked up and will cause your child to be teased in school and marginalize in life. I can respect somebody that actually went and did the research and gave their children Afrocentric names that actually have meaning to them or they became familiar with an African language and they named their child Chaka, Cleopatra, Manu, or my personal favorite Hannibal, however this idiot bitches are pulling shit out of their asses and are literally naming their kids shit because it sounds "cute." Naming your kid Laquana, or Chiniqua is as ridiculous as naming your child Blue Ivy. Unless you're going to give your child a true name of African origins with meaning, stick to good old fashioned Anglo-Saxon names.

Man, thank you. Like i said, I got love for REAL African names but dammit Cosby was right about this one (he was wrong for including "Muhammed" obviously); ain't shit Afrocentric about these dumb hoes naming they kids Lateeshiana. There's zero thought or wisdom to it, we just started doing it "because it sounds cool". Saying that's Pro-Black is like saying racing stripe decals make your car go faster. Fuck outta here with this Black Hebrew excuse, like somebody got these names out of the Sephirot or Scripture or the Qu'ran. Nigga please. You ain't praising Allah with these silly-ass names, you're bragging about your own ignorance and the white man is laughing his ass off at you while you do it.
these ignant bitches prolly think "Yahweh" is a rapper or sports drink who the fuck are you kidding.....

yeah, he sure do, he got ya'll thinking that there is anything Black or African about "la" as a prefix. Some old French slave master is laughing his ass off at yall
don't wanna name yo kids after great African leaders like Chaka or Hannibal or Imhotep or Garang....don't even wanna give them white names used by great black men like Nathaniel or Frederick or Mosiah or Toussaint....naw, ppl wanna make up some shit off the top of they head instead of turning off Tyler Perry and picking up a fucking book.
