[quote=Anonymous]I'm white and hate made up "you-nique" names, or names that are really just words (or titles) -- Apple, True, Saint, Princess, King, Kulture, Reign, Heiress, etc., to use celebrity kids names as an example. My husband is black and really hates names that he thinks signal "hood," like the names they make up on the Key & Peele football sketch, and he'll laugh at a made up name with a demonstrably "white" feel, like Karsynne or Wolff in your examples, but they don't get under his skin the same way. But he's not as bothered as I am by the words-for-names thing (Journee, Seven, things like that). I think there's a lot of proof out there by now that a name that identifies someone as part of a group that is discriminated against -- black, hispanic, Muslim, Jewish, etc. -- can be used as a proxy for that discrimination, especially in the resume examples. I'm sorry you missed out on Iesha though. That's pretty.[/quote]
