LOL I agree. I work for a program that services elementary students and you wouldn't believe the ghetto names I have come across! Can you imagine a teacher their first day of school! Our people certaintly have TOO much creativity in giving names. What ever happened to the signifigance of a name? For example, my name means "she who is like the Lord." If your name is Alize you certaintly won't find that in a baby book! What would a liquior related name say about a child? Names are to give character and meaning for their life! For example, our line names identify charaterists about us. "rhapsody = elated bliss!" That's me!

I agree. If people want to choose an unusual name for their child, there are plenty in the baby name books. My name is very unusual, but it's in the books, and means "guarded by God" or "guardian". I'm not suggesting that everyone give their child a eurocentric name. My name isn't eurocentric. If that is the desire, there are baby name books that will serve that purpose. All it takes is a little bit of research.
