Ghetto Name..help 10 POINTS?
They dont sound Ghetto at all.....





I'm from Africa (Southern) and wouldnt really call my son Africa. Most exiled people are the ones who do that and names like Azania and Freedom. I preffer a name closer to home and more personal to me, thats why I named my son Rebokile, its a Tswana name meaning "we've praised" as his dads is Bokang meaning "praise". If I have a daughter I'll name her "Ocean" in SeTswana which will be "Lewatle"... I love the rain, but it doesnt do much for me as a name for a child or person. Just get them strange remarks as they grow older like "what?" etc...
Reply:I love the name Rain...





I am white-bread American... I come from a fairly wealthy American family and I don't think these names are ghetto at all.





My younger sister Vaughn's middle name is Raine (yes with an e).





I think that rain is a very spiritual name, one that implies communion with nature. For me it symbolizes nourishment and cleansing.


Beautiful... go for it.
Reply:These names are nice. Alot of people who, automatically, name black folk's names as ghetto don't have any imagination. We don't name every other child Amy or Jennifer. Black people like to mix it up.
Reply:no not at all, if you want to name your children that then go for it. i would name my child rain but probably like asia or something else like that but that's just me.


You just do you and don't worry about nobody else.
Reply:No, they are not 'Ghetto' names.


Unique, but not ghetto.





I personally wouldn't use the names, I have no hatred of them, I just prefer others.
Reply:I would choose Rain. Only cause I think it sounds better. But they are a bit.....odd. But hey go for it. Just don't name u'r child days of the week.
Reply:Africa is cultural, not ghetto. Rain sounds nice, with a unique spelling like Rayne or Reigne.
Reply:They are far beyond ghetto more ghetto than lequeesha!
Reply:Good names, just don't name him Ray Ray...its will give him bad luck...and he'll turn out violent.
Reply:Yes I would, but what does this have to do with the ghetto?
Reply:How about these names:





Nyquil


Nivea


Valvoline


Lenovo


Ozarka


Crisco





Where do you people come up with those names? With names like that your kid is screwed before he/she is even born.
