What's in a name?

[PositivelyAKA]

do the names we give our kids already set them up for discrimination by society. for instance if an employer sees the name Timothy Brown and Malik Brown on resumes all things being equal who would he call in for the interview? how about Amy Dillard vs Shequila Washington. are we giving our identities away before we ever step foot into the office. anyway just a thought, do you think parents disadvantage their kids when they give them traditonally "black" names. to go a little further if we get rid of asking what race someone is on a college applications etc. would it level the playing ground after all an A is an A in any color.

i think you should name your kid whatever you want (well maybe not Satan) but i thought it was a valid question nonetheless and possibly an issue for some.
