Theres a video on youtube, kids with names like Brianal (Come on its after a sex movement), Escalade - a truck and Mistakalina along with names La this and that, the funniest I have heard is Lacriscoshakeanbake. They are now saying kids with extreme ghetto names get passed over in jobs and the ignorance of the parents giving them such bad names is ruining their lives.

Thanks mom! No wonder I haven't received any job offers,

i talked about this topic in another forum that i use to go to and these names that we are giving to our children are just ridiculous and igorant and it needs to stop we are destroying their lives with these nonsense made up names with no meaning i think it should be a crime to name your child something like

in my opinion if black people want to name their children unique names or names that are different why not have African names or Kenyan Nigerian or Yoruba names taking it back to our cultural roots?? i think this is more beautiful and names that have meaning just like all other cultures of the globe

but these names please dont do it

I know what you mean. I've always loved the name Cuahtemoc. It's an Aztec name.

This shit AGAIN????

I only half-jokingly suggested Cauhtemoc to my wife for our firstborn.

We laughed as we realized that if his name was ever shortened by family/friends, he could wind up being 'Moquito'.

(that's "little bugger")

Huggie Bear.

And I knew a guy named Richard Head.

He drank himself to death. Go figure.

I went 2 school with a guy called Robert Sole... Yes, Mr R Sole got some giggles from his classmates.

The most Ghetto name I've ever heard (Although I think it was exposed as a fake) is L-A (Pronounced Ldasha).

4real?

I'm still confused as to why the question is NEVER funniest, oddest, weirdest, strangest, cookiest, but ALWAYS "ghettoest" name. Same shit, different day.

PurpleJedi said:

I've personally know people who named children:

Cinnamon

Diamond

Kashen ("Kash" for short)

Koi

Kinnick (My cousin named his son this, after the University of Iowa's football stadium, which was named after some college football player. )


I went to high school with a guy named D'Artagnan (I know it's from the Three Muskateers, but still... We called him D'Art for short.)

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Yeah...moquito = booger mocoso = snot

But I'm sure it would quickly go from Moquito to Mocoso anyway as the kid got older.

Six, a local woman named her child Six. Who the fuck is to lazy to think up a name? I guess at least he actually was child #6. At least she got the pecking order right.

I forgot. My niece's name is Shayleigh. I can't even think about it without affecting an Appalachian accent. I think it's so white trash.

RenHoek said:

Don't even get me started on these crazy celebs and they fucked up baby names.

I have a little cousin whose engaged to a Baylah (Fijian/Maori mix)
Taught kids with names like Aquanetta, Lakeisha, Tylamiqua, Jamaree, Omarion and Aunshailena. And they are Pacific Islanders, not black.

That ain't my real name, its a nickname I give my partner, based on teddy bears rather than pimps.

Jonathan and Victoria always crack me up.

Now what's REALLY odd is that this SAME person started this SAME thread 4 months ago saying the SAME shit.
