I think it is a shame the lengths and extremes some parents take at naming there children, I wonder if they think of the life there children will live as an effect of there carelessness. My boyfriend and I have come to the agreement that all of our children (once we are married and start the our family) will have professional names. Some people may be offended and say that I'm biasing to a "white" society but regardless of what people think my children will be respected by there names and by the way they live there lives and quite frankly as a business professional who much respect do you think someone named "Ovary Alize" will get?

Some names I've heard of are:
1. William Williams (not all that bad, is acceptable)
2. Moet Alize (a little girl in DC)-I frown on that name
3. Dysheki (come on now what's up with that)
4. Ebony and Ivory (children of an interracial couple the lighter baby named Ivory and darker Ebony starting the children off with an early complex)
5. Breon (rhymes with Freon)
6. John Three (enough said)
7. Cassade Joy (was this thought of in the detergent aisle)
8. Lucifer (what in the?)-The devil himself huh
9. Macintosh (interesting but still not all that great of a name)
10. Bluejay (hey if Raven, Robin, Bird, and Crow are acceptable why not Bluejay)-What is really going on? (At least they call him BJ for short.
Ovary Alize? If a child is ever named that, somebody's parents need to be shot. Period.
Yes, I know that we should raise our children to have aspirations of doing the hiring. But as long as some 90% of people of color don't work for ourselves, names and stuh will be taken into issue.
