[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep. [b]White people can give their kids all kinds of "unconventional" names and it's not judged as being low class, uneducated, etc[/b]. But when black people do it, it's "ghetto."

Honestly, I don't care if people want to name their kids Karsynne or DeMarcus but it should be judged in the same way (or not judged at all). The double standard when it comes to this type of stuff is ridicilous.[/quote]

Of course it is - don't be ridiculous.  My family is from a tiny town out west where all the (white) kids are given made up names, like Bentley, Bryce, Caden, Saylor, Aeverie, Dalton, etc.  You don't hear those names here because they are made fun of and judged as being all of the above.  Which, to be fair - they usually are.[/quote]

PP here. Bryce, Caden, Bentley, Aeverie( Avery) and Dalton are real names. Bryce and Caden are Gaelic. Bentley, Dalton, and Aeverie (Avery) are English.  None of these are made up names. Don't make fun of them.  :lol:

Seriously, I don't think it's the same. When there are white people with "unconventional" names, at most people might blame the kid's parents for being trendy or trying too hard to be different. But it's certainly not an instant of marker of being poor and uneducated in the same way it is for black people.

Nope, nope, nope.

Maybe when you are talking about rich white liberal hipster millennial type parents.

But I guarantee if you see a white kid with the name BaileeghAnne or Krysteen you are going to jump to teen mom naming their poor kid stripper names and not trendy, try too hard names.[/quote]

Like Krysten Ritter, the actress? (I know Krysten is not Krysteen but it's a similar type of name.) I don't think anyone's judging her for having a "stripper" name.[/quote]
