Baby Names

[MIDWESTDIVA]

This forum has been very quiet lately. So I would like to spark some conversation.

I read about a sick little girl in a magazine. She was a two year old and her name was Talejashalexis. In some cultures, it may be the norm to have a name with 14 letters or more, but in African American culture, it is not. I have also come across a little girl recently, whose name is Nautica. And I know an adult woman whose name is Tangerine. What do you all think about giving children these kind of names? Think about when these children learn to write their names. Also think about how these children may be discriminated against when they fill out a job application or submit resumes to a company.


Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
