Is this name Ghetto, and can you pronounce it?

Diovion? Should I have spelled it differently? It's pronounced Dee-ah-vee-ohn.

Not "ghetto", it's worse, it's gawd-awful.





Why stick a perfectly good little baby with a name like that? Do you want him/her taunted and tormented for all his school years?





Stick to the classics that have no baggage attached.

Anything but a baggage heavy "ghetto" name. Do you want your child to succeed in life? Live a good solid upwardly mobile life? Give him/her a name associated with the good, solid American middle class.





Do not stick your kid with a name that sounds like a gangbanger from South Central LA or some low income apartment complex in Federal Way, WA.
Reply:Sounds like some kind of weird prescription drug for Alzheimer's.





Dreadful idea to actually give anyone this name. I'd pronounce that as something like 'DEE-O-VEE-ON', but it's anybody's guess how other people might say it.





You've got thousands of years of human history and the richness of many cultures to choose from. Please try and use that instead of creating a name that sounded like it was randomly generated by a computer program!

Unfortunately, when looking at resumes, employers may see it as an inner-city type of name, and it may unfairly hinder job prospects. No, it鈥檚 not right, but we as a country still label people.
