Do what you gotta do.
You really think these asian people were born named Allan and Lily?

As a black woman instead of giving her daughter a "white" name how about surrounding her with her white side and making sure she knows the history of her people.
can you give me an example of a race neutral name because I am under the impression that most names have an origin....Race Neutral names ftw.
Black folks talking about she shouldn't change her name, but what is the black community offering her that's so awesome? \What's the point of black pride if it ain't attached to anything? I don't agree with it, but I understand why she would want to change her name.
For The WinDo what you gotta do.

that's because it's not. It's biblical. Job's wife was Keziah and Tyrone is actually irish.I knew 2 white girls named Keisha...One was russian...I never thought of Keisha being a black name...
dont mind me, Im just switching white with black and black with white to see how it looks. carry on.
there was no point, thus the reason I said "dont mind me"I'm sorry but I fail to see your point. Care to explain?
I feel you on that shyt. My mother gave me this weird ass name that people have trouble spelling and pronouncing. My middle name is even worse. My own brothers and sisters can't even spell it.Another white black girl. @ her picture. That Cac has nothing to do with black culture.
But yeah, I never understand why black families give us such stupid names in the first place, especially to our daughters. Latarsha, laquesha, Raqueena, Shaquanna, etc. Those names are ugly as fukk, yet we keep giving our sons and daughters these stupid names. Let's face it, these names only work against us when we're trying to get our foot in the door.
I remember there was this old white guy in one of my classes named "Jamal."

In the 60s they were rejecting european culture and trying to start an exclusive black american culture (since black americans dont have one). So instead of carrying the white mans name, they figured they'd create new names. I think it was a good attempt, unfortunately white people rejected it, and managed to influence us into straying away from them, and that these names were ugly.
in smile it went a little like this.
blacks: what I look like having a name like Brad and Thomas. These cac ass names didn't come from africa.
white people: what you gonna do about that.
blacks: create our own names, hmmmm Imma go with Lakesha
whites: :umadjay: check out Lakesha yall. Laquanda stfu and clean the halls.
blacks:
