[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mispronounce and look down on black names?

What would you think of a black man named Mark versus a black man name DeMarcus?

Do you think Mark was raised by a college educated nuclear black family, or was he adopted? Did DeMarcus grow up in subsidized housing never knowing his father?

My name is Arabic, traditionally used in the black community.  After my freshman year of college  I went by the nickname Nicole and the change was obvious.  I was still a black woman, but so there was a privilege in going by Nicole.

I had my children, and gave them top 100 Euro-centralist names, believing this was better for them.

My daughter has friend, a white child from an upper middle class family, named Karsynne.  My son has a boy in his class named Wolff. I know so many white kids with names that are absolutely bizarre, completely made up and I want to kick myself for not naming my daughter Iesha.  I thought I could erase a bit of their blackness, and it would help them navigate.

Seeing my Michael next to a blue eyed, blonde haired little boy named Maverick and I just have to laugh.    [/quote]

Wolff isnt "made up" its an actual name of something, its a stupid kids name but thats different. Karyssn is also a real name, in the South Carson is not unheard. the spelling with a K is dumb. These are different than other made up names with apostrophes etc.  [/quote]
