Wait, what about "Laveranues Coles"? He is still in the NFL...

And LaDainian Tomlinson?

There are reasons why we may name our children "funky" names that eventually become common place: such as JaLisa, Tomika, or Kenya...

But hey, it is America last I checked. And the Constitution and Bill of Rights says I can name my kid a name whenever and whatever I want. It can be a jacked up name or a more "appropriate" name that lacks creativity.

My mother's name could be viewed a "ghetto" because her mother could not spell...
