Black Man X - Do you take pride in your last name? Serious discussion.

[Big Daddy]

Could change it anytime I want...and will do so in due time. I want to make sure I go out having made a full 360 back to my root.......Have found out, my first and last name come out the ranks of descendants to the French euro cacs that had Louisiana before they sold it to the so called English.......

 

[Big Daddy]

Only reason why I kept my slave name is because I am named after my father and I love him.

Love my pop too but this Euro shyt gotsta GO
But everybody's situation is different and I respect your decision.

I have an African first AND middle name
I'm gonna drop my last name and use my middle name for my last name in few years when some of my business plans are complete

I have the same surname as Storm from X-Men. If I have a daughter her name will be Ororo .

That's a dope idea

 

[Just like bruddas]

I have welsh first and last name. I take no pride being named after a white man.

Get this DNA test done and see which part of Africa I'm from and get my true name

 

[Box Cutta]

I don't take any pride in it, although I must admit that I've never really strongly considered changing it.

 

[Naijan]

Respect to anyone who changes it, but I can understand some who will not because of history or family.

I am with you
Some very good points being brought up regarding just "taking on" any random name though... some feel it's only barely a notch above simply keeping your Euro name in regards to obtaining self-identity...

Any African name from the region of your ancestors is better than a cac name that was passed down from slavery.

What does it mean (the name)

Just that my daughter will share her name with a comic book character.
