Ghetto Ass Names

Skylar and Jerome should meet someday. :smt039

 

A famous Hollywood film composer has that name, too.
Jerome Maross(The Big Country, The Vikings, The Valley Of Gwangi).
Famous dance choreographer Jerome Robbins. He co-directed the 1961 film West Side Story with Robert Wise(The Day The Earth Stood Still, Rooftops).

 

Would that not be a cool couple!

 

Add a "da" to the end of each female name and you create a ghetto name.

 

Ches-da. :-|

 

Chesbayda sounds more ghetto.....

 

Chesniqua

 

Chesdania(sounds Eastern European). LaChesani.

 

Really? I met a white LeRoy once. But I never met a white Dartavius, lol.

 

My real life name is Ta.

 

Just get creative with the middle name and give your kid a "normal" first name. I personally have a very awkward name, unfortunately. And it doesn't shorten to any decent nickname.

Lol awwww... Ta Da!!! Awesome

 

I wonder how many people tossed her resume in the trash....instead of creating a new thread I'll just post here.



New noon news anchor for WTAE

Damn she sexy

 

Me too. It just gets shortened to "T" Lol.

She is pretty, but what does she have to do with the thread topic???

 

?? Janelle is very English in heritage, and it means, 'God is Gracious'. It's very popular in Aus, too.
Same with Hall. It's an English name, but I know lots of Irish who bear that name. And Scottish. It is originally old-french derived from Halle, which meant a Manor home, and thus that you worked there (aka, the halls) for the Lord as a servant or chambermaid. It's definitely recognized as an Anglo-saxon name.

 

Only people who are educated in the nature of names and their origins would recognize it. And looking around, it's really a combination name, with Jane, of Hebrew origin mean "God is Gracious, and -elle, a diminutive suffix of a feminine nature. So, while technically, it is of English and French origin, it's earliest known form could be more in compliance as a combination name.

But what north is trying to get at is that black people are generally getting a great deal of flack because of the American-origin names they give their kids. so anyone with such "unusual" names like Janelle or Tyrone, or any variant of it, they would be considered "ignorant names".

 

Tyrone (Ty/Ron) is not "unusual or ignorant", nor is (Janelle (Jan/Jane/Elle).

Black people do not get flack for AMERICAN-ORIGIN names. Unfortunately, what North is doing is confusing Black names with "Ghetto Ass Names". Think about it.

 

Actually, with American-based names like "Quintelle", Ranisha, Lemongelo, and other names, when applying for a job at a workplace, what's the likelihood of them being rejected solely because they have a name that is unfamiliar and "too black" sounding.

And again, and I'll repeat, only the educated would recognize that names like Janelle or Tyrone, which are names commonly associated with blacks, would recognize their origins. It's just when it's used for majority blacks here in the US, automatically, people would assume its ghetto.

 

I know of more WW with that name than BW.

 

I wouldn't be surprised. But I know a lot of black women with that name too.
