When I was deciding on a name for my daughter, I thought about about this topic. My name is not common, nor is it "Black" sounding. My daughter's first name is common, and her middle name is Swahili (Imani). My ex wanted to name his son the Russian word for King, or ruler.
I think people can be true to their ethnicity and name their child original names. I just wont be naming my chile Alize (b/c you know someone was watching Steve Harvey and thought Lovita Alize was cute), Tequila, Shenehneh, boomshequea, etc.. that is just me..to each his own..but think about your child's future
