Trying to help my sister name her child but she likes ghetto names

okay does anyone know like any acceptable "ghetto" names that i could possibly talk her into


we have compromised on these names already


Jayson Un'dreus Griffin


Ja'Michael Malik Griffin


Jayden Malachi Griffin


Kayden (no middle name) Griffin


Javeon Ra'Shuwn( her name is Shun) Griffin


Rayshuwn no middle name


Ty'shuwn Jamil Griffin


those are boy names and girls





Jada Rose she doesn't like that but i think it's cute


Jaylynn Michelle


Gracee Kennedy


Alannah Nicole %26lt;----- N- My middle name


Ainslee need a middle name


Aelisha


Olivia Brooke ( i think thats cute she doesn't like it)


Jazmin'


Makayla Trinity (our cousin name is Lauren Makayla but it's spelt like Machaela)


Ashlynn Nicole


please help me save my niece or nephew so they'll have a respectable name!!!


one last thing this baby will be 3/4 white because my sister is mixed and her husband is white so i'm trying to find a name that'll fit her and "ghetto" name don't fit anyone

Trying to help my sister name her child but she likes ghetto names
Ultimately, it's her decision (and her husband's) - That said, here are my choices -





Jayden Malachi


Jayson Andreas (prefer the spelling here)





Ashlynn Nicole


Jada Rose





Lavinia is a name from the 1920's that kind of has that "sound" she's looking for. Queenie is another name from the same time period. Just a suggestion, you might try looking up names from that time period and see that there are many names that fit the sound she's looking for.

Reply:I really like the names Ashlynn Nicole, Jaylynn Michelle, and Alannah Nicole. I don't think they even sound ghetto but are so pretty. For the boy names, I love the name Jayson Un'dreus (I just love the name Jayson). I think a lot of the names you have picked out are really cute. How about Jalen if it's a boy too?
Reply:I know a very ghetto name and it's even pretty too! The name is Jazzarae (Jazz-AH-ray) it's for a girl.





Jazzarae Ashlynn [say it to yourself! it can't can't anymore ghetto lol]








for boys: Jayden is more of a anti-ghetto boy actually... Ty'Shuwn is the most ghetto sounding.
Reply:Ha ha ha why we keep doing this ghetto name thing. Come on now it's old I thank the Lord I don't have a ghetto name most of these names are ridiculous. Makayla, Gracee and Olivia are nice names Jayson is the only boys name that I could make out so I guess that one is okay to.
Reply:Your sister can name her child whatever she wants it is not your decision.





I can't belive you would put the full - first, middle, and last


name on the internet for strangers and child molesters to see.
Reply:Jada Rose - girl


Jayson Michael - boy





Just tell her "look you are 1/2 white and your hubby is white, you do not need a ghetto name!"





And why isn't the husband helping defend his future kid??
Reply:Jayden Malachi and Alannah Nichole





I also like Athena for a girl I went to school with girl who named her little 1/2 white, 1/2 African American daughter that... she is beautiful and very smart.
Reply:Jayden Malachi Griffin

Reply:Wow, you have your work cut out for you!


Sorry, the boys names are all horrid.


The girls actually look a lot better.

Reply:Damien Malachi


Keisha Daniella
Reply:ASHLYNN NICHOLE
Reply:why have you "compromised" the child isn't yours..she can call her baby what she wants
Reply:Your question made me laugh! I sympathize with you -- I had a friend who just loved the name Nevaeh, and no one had the heart to tell her it sounded extremely ghetto. Luckily, I was able to steer her toward something else modern and ethnic, but not ghetto.





Your sister seems to like uncommon names with unusual letters or spellings. You may want to look for some foreign names to suggest to her, as those will be very uncommon and are often spelled in ways that look odd to English-speakers, but they will still be legitimate names instead of ghetto inventions. African, Indian, and Arabic names might work especially well. Here are some ideas:





Girls:


Amira


Amaia


Keira/Ciara


Tatiana


Liana


Sasha


Sarai (suh-RYE)


Naima


Asha


Jamila


Karima


Lina


Saida


Samira


Samiya


Soraya


Yasmin


Zahrah/Zara


Arya


Amala


Devi


Kala


Lila


Mira


Nila


Adaeze


Adanna


Imani


Nia


Zola





Some combinations I like:


Zara Yasmin (means "blooming jasmine flower")


Zola Imani (means "peaceful faith")


Samiya Adaeze (means "supreme princess")


Soraya Adaeze


Tatiana Sarai





Boys:


On her list, I already like Malachi and Jamil. Malachi Jamil Griffin would be a great name. Tell her it means "my beautiful angel." Maybe that will convince her. (Malachi means "my angel" in Hebrew and Jamil means "beautiful" in Arabic.)





Jason Andreas would be a fabulous name were it spelled correctly. Jayson isn't awful, but Un'dreus is hideous.





Jayden and Kayden aren't as bad as some of her other choices. They're just extremely trendy.





Best of luck to you. I know this is a tough situation. Ultimately, of course, the child's name is up to her and her husband, but polite suggestions are definitely in order if they save the child a lifetime of living with an awful name.
