[quote=Anonymous]I have taught in low SES African American environments for many years, and the only Dashiell's I have known (2) have been affluent white boys. The D trend for African American names is waning, but the trend was always for names that either had accented second syllables (e.g. de ME tree us, de LON tay) or 2 syllables equally accented (DAY SHON), usually ending in -on. A name with a strong first syllable DASH followed by an unaccented schwa syllable wouldn't fit in with the trend. [/quote]
