Tyesha and Tavon.


Shawanda and Marquita.





never. would i use these names. if i had to name my babies sarah and emily, i would if i had to pick out of these.





my dad is white and my mom is black.


so, i was never ghetto. i've always couldnt stand names like this. theyre digusting, and if you name your kids this, you have no repesct for yourself, or for your children. becuase people will never hire people with these names.

My good friend works at a hospital and they did have a patient come in with her name pronounced La-dash-a (spelled La-a)





I'm sorry, I hate to be so stereotypical but La and things that in in Qua's are SO freaking ghetto.

SAMantha M:


Dear, I was raised in the ghetto... drive-by drills in school and gangs marking territory left and right... and I am as white of a Mexican as they come... and there were white people in that neighborhood too... don't start judging us on stereotypes when your doing the same damn thing.
Reply:Let me clarify to you that "ghetto" is a place not an adjective. With that being said, I guess you are implying unusual names that people give their children...





Laquorsha


Tashima


Shiyokii


Seabass


Latisha


Mara Juana





And, yes, those names come from black AND white children...

Reply:There is no such thing as ghetto name. When black people use the word ghetto they're being snobby looking down on something. However, when white people use the word ghetto it is racist because white people mainly mean all black people. Also, white people usually don't know what the ghetto is or where it is. Why would white people use the word ghetto?


White people should stick to the words "white trash" or "redneck" because white people know about trailer parks. It's tough for a white person to use the word ghetto or the projects. White trash names are names such as LuAnn. How many Luanns do you have living in trailer parks? probably a million! LOL.





EDIT:


Phantom J9 DUE 6.6.09- black people sometimes choose names that are unique but they're actually foreign like Indian, middle Eastern names, and Russian names. But white people assume they're just letters put together. Not always. White people could take the time to look the name up and you'll realize that the name does have an origin and meaning. duhh.
