Naming Dey Kids Names They Can’t Spell (Or Pronounce)

Black people love naming their kids names they can’t remember how to spell or pronounce. Besides naming their kids after liquor - Chardonnay and Taquery - and cars - Mercedes and Lexus - you have the “niques”, like Shanique and Monique. Not to mention countries - Asia. Or African names with little understanding of spelling or meaning - Khalima. Or famous people - Denzel. Fifty years ago, it was presidents - Washington or Booker. How moi spells the names here matters little, since black people make up that shit anyway.

Black people apparently are not considering that little Shanique, LaKeisha, and Jamalis going to be 90 years old one day and is not going to become a CEO with those monikers. Guess whose resume is going in the round file? Yep, Roshawn’s and Roshanda’s. Black folks, you ain’t raising another Ophra. Your kids are black. Try to name them something that gives them a chance. Call them “boo” at home, but stop naming your kids after cars, liquor, and name brands, like Xerox.

Naming their kids some fucked up name they can’t even spell, black people love that shit.
