Rontri Daqaye (boy)
La'Keel Tarique (boy)
Javoris Wrayquan (boy)
Katriel Marquiez (boy)
Lexxus Aaliyah Marie (girl)
Ny'Ri Ne'Shell (girl - apparently her parents like apostrophes)
Destiny Channel (girl) - no, not Chanel. CHANNEL.
Traveon Lavaughney (boy - he won't learn to spell his name until he's 12 at that rate)
Aspen Carolina (girl - okay, it's not ghetto, but she's going to grow up to be a stripper)
TyQuan Nosaj (boy)
Sayvion Isaiah Jaheim
And the winner: The mom's name is Qwensheta. She named her daughter Ke'Avah Jah-Kiyya.
My people, my people.

I feel so bad for these children, and I don't even know them. Once again, I wish that people would think about the outside world, namely college and job applications.
Names such as this absoutely can be used by some jacked-up employer to discriminate.
