What's in a Name????
greetings sorors and sisterfriends....
i am proud to say that i am the big sister to a proud little baby girl that my father and his girlfriend had on December 14th.
the question is names...we anticipated a little boy that we had prepared a long list of beautiful names for boys. my father and i would name the baby if it was a boy and my father's girlfriend would name it if it was a girl.
so since it is a girl...
the that was picked was cleshea pronounced cliche with the accent. i was absolutely horrified because it sound like one of those ghetto names that people name their children hence......
alize (a liquor)
chaniequa (i have several friend with this name)
shawnshanique (huh?)
boquisha ( i do know someone that has that name)
passion (sounds like a fruit)
desire (we are people thinking)
precious ( i will leave that one alone)
i don't want to sound rude but i want to know where they they pick these names from? are they suppose to sound black or afrocentric?
just the other day at my office someone was laughing their head off because some submitted a resume with the name Alize Renee Jenkins *i am so serious* and of course they were not taking seriously, so their resume was overlooked.
I would like to know your opinions?
Thanks!
