I don't think that Jezel or Latoya are trashy names and I live in Australia. I know someone named Jezel except she spells her name Jazelle and she lives in Bondi, a 'well off' area in Sydney. It's never affected her with getting a job, sometimes she needs to spell her name for people. Some of the names that celebrities name their children these days, you've got to wonder what's considered a normal name.
Reply:Names make a great impression on people expecialy if they have never met them(like on applicaions) It can affect things like getting certain jobs getting into certain colleges it can even give the person an impression of who you are:





case and point My philosophy teacher named his daughter charlie when she applied at a large engineering firm(All men worked there) she got an Interview, In the interview the man confessed he thought he was going to be interviewing a male.





Its not just enthlicly biased its also gender. It shouldn't make a diffrence but it does.
Reply:My friend used to live in the south for a few years and worked in a day care center. And HONEST TO GOD, he said that there was a little boy who was named, "Sexy". He had to call the kid by his last name because it was so embarrasing. Seriously, people can go be ghetto on another planet. And no, I'm not racist, I am a black person myself, and I would never even imagine to do something so detrimental to my child.
Reply:From personal experience people look at me crazy or confused when I tell them my real name. I'm getting it officially changed this year without a doubt. You can't make me keep this name.
Reply:Wow your teacher is racist! What a jerk. Eh i dont like the over the top ghetto names just cause everyone makes so much fun of them but honestly if something like Shanaynay has special meaning LOL go for it.
Reply:I'm not sure. I mean if your name is ridiculous, like, Broomquisha (broom-kee-shah) then yes, because kids will make fun of you. But if your name is reasonable, then no
Reply:yeah because there are tons of racist people out there and they obviously are going to make mean comments on their name... i don't get your story about your teacher and all that
Reply:everybody has their own definition of a trashy. I think it isn't the name of a person that makes them trashy but how they act and so forth.
Reply:i love the name Latoya :)


haha.





um your teacher sounds kinda... rude !
