Boomshemma could be from a country in Africa? Wild guess there. There are so many languages out there, we can't assume anything is made up by a certain group. Maybe "borrowed", but not completely original. English borrows so many sayings from other languages, that it could make sense to "borrow" names as well.

If a name normally comes from a language... what if you had two DEAF people naming their deaf kid? How would you put that on a birth certificate when the name is part of a visual/non written language? Like, to deaf people, I'm the signed letter "N" on my cheek, with the "laugh/smile" movement. How would you write that down? It still forces someone to go outside of "their own" language for documentation purposes.

Just because a name might not be in a standard "baby names dictionary", doesn't mean it doesn't already exist in another language .

 

The name John is Herbrew you fool. The meaning is God is gracious, I am done talking to your stupid ass.

 

Thanks Bliss

 

YW ^ ^ ^

LOL. Next he will tell us the most popular name, which is Jacob, is named after a cob of corn.

Or Abraham, named after a ham sammich (that he makes his wife fix for him.)

 

Find it.

 

Your name is Latavious isn't it?

 

*closes eyes, points* Um... my finger ended up on a ":smt026"face? lol.

I'm not saying its for certain. Just, it doesn't look like a language I've heard of.. and when I think of a place with a LOT of different languages, I think of Africa.

It could be completely made up, but we can't be certain, could be a "3rd most used name in (whereever)".

 

She meant well lol

 

Whatever

"Uncle Tom"....As he said - you know nothing about Russian names, lol.

Will call you Sarah P now, since you can see Shakita-Russia from your desk.

Children are very sensitive to their names and most naturally want to blend in. Why the f does a parent name their child after a piece of fruit, a color or a car? It sure 'aint to buck the system or encourage entrepreneurship, believe that.

And who said a normal name stymies a child from entrepreneurial success? If a child wants to, he can rename himself, like Calvin Broadus did. Snoop on, Dog.

 

:smt005

 

Dude, was this meant to HELP your argument?? Because it didn't. Shit was fucking hilarious, fuck PC! :smt005

(Wish they did one for some Greek surnames...)

 

Not this shit again.

Come on everyone, it should be intuitive that all of these said names originated from America. Henceforth, the names are of American origin.

Besides, all names are weird if you don't think outside of the box. When you have (weird) names like John, Mark, Jesus, Isaac, Jessica, Marie, Tierney, Sarah, Giselle, Marco, Maxim, Leslie, Bonquisha, Leticia, Harris, Jordan, Giorgio, George, Guildenstern, Romeo, Athena, Titus, Andre, Hannah, etc...all these names are weird sounding if the ears aren't familiar with them.

I'd say, when you think of "ghetto names", remember their origin of nationality - American, African, Australian, and all those wonderful countries. So next time you laugh at a name, think about your own for once.

 

What about backwoods country sounding names? They sound fine as long as you reside in the south, but if you live outside the south where they are not that common not so much. I speak from personal experience and do not use my full first name in real life because of this. You get looked at and treated like you're a dumb hick most of the time by some people if/when they know you have a hick sounding name compared to when they think you have a common name. :smt087

 

In the perfect world it wouldn't matter but in the real world, hick names are not nice, I'm not thank goodness, but I was almost names Crystal Gail..isn't that awful? So glad mom changed her mind.. Even worse, when you are home and fam feels the need to use first and middle name for no apparent reason?

 

that has its origins too.

boom from BOOMshakalaka when you dunk the basketball
quee from queen
and sha from shaneese

 

this is not ghetto per say, but name a kid Rocco chances are he is not going to be a brain surgeon.

or a kid named jeeves is bound to be a butler

 

When the hell did BLACK become a language!! LMMFAO!!!!!

 

Just FYI, many of these 'ghetto' names we here or w/e aren't even black origin.

First time I moved to San Antonio I met a Hispanic woman named Yolanda, and Yolanda is really a STRONG Hispanic name. Also Latifah IIRC is actually Arabic, so these aren't even African American originating.

I have a black friend with a Nigerian name though and it isn't ghetto. I think some people believe some of these names sound ridiculous, hence why they are calling them ghetto.

If I have a child I'll give them a strong name, and if it 'unique/ethnic' at least I will be selective about it. Unfortunately 'Tyrone' or 'Laquisha' will get more callbacks on a job interview than other names unfortunately.

 

hatred toward ghetto black folk, eh?

 

As funny as you masking your fetish as genuine interest.
