Reply:its not in the name, its the way the child behaves. I think that you are okay.





Love the name by the way :)
Reply:doesn't sound ghetto to me can you give the pronounciation. that is far from ghetto.... now if you where naming her SHAQUISHA...then we would need to have a sit down.
Reply:Not at all, I think it sounds pretty.
Reply:No not at all, it is a totally German sounding name to me, and pretty too!
Reply:Katja is a very cute German name. (comes from Katharina)


It does not sound Ghetto at all....
Reply:Name that baby whatever you want and the HELL with what people think. My girls are all mixed race. Half african american and half caucasian and they have ethnic names that came from the heart. Don't ever conform to society's damn ignorance. And I am saying that to each and every person on here that answered YES to the question asked.





Ghetto is a state of mind sweetie.
Reply:Katja sounds german to me. When my husband and i were in Germany due to him being in the military, we knew a lady there named Katja and its a very pretty german name. I do not think it sounds "ghetto" at all, but thats me! Good luck!
Reply:Name your baby whatever you want. Who cares about what people think, they don't pay your bills, do they?
Reply:Katja, very cute name. Not Ghetto at all,
Reply:Do people assume all black (or part-black) children are from the ghetto? And why would care about the opinions of people who would think that way?
Reply:no way!





ghetto probly wont exist by the time shes old enough to care tbh!





thats a realy pretty name! i want it! can i have it =D





lol

Reply:Ghetto names are disgusting. For shame.
Reply:No it isn't ghetto.


Just raise her to have good manners and do well in school. Her attitude and personality wil determine whether or not she is ghetto, not so much her name.
Reply:yes
Reply:Now if you would have said, Shenequa or Boomquisha then I would have said yes! =)





I really like Katja, its very pretty and sounds Exotic.
Reply:You can name your baby whatever you want.
Reply:I think it's a stunning name. Go for it! I'm sure she will love it too!
Reply:No way
Reply:No, not at all. Katja, Sonja, and Marja are really where "j" is substituted for "i" (mostly in eastern europe) but most people will not know that in the US. ---Not sure about in Germany. To me, the closeset "ghetto" version would be Kadija, which is because of black muslims. Kadija is a nice name. It is international. Katja would be fine except that it sound like "Caught ya" and she may not want boys saying that to her. Katia can be shortened to Tia or Katie.
Reply:No
Reply:no its pretty.
Reply:Katja is a beautiful name.





Katja is very unique-sounding, but not made up, so she should be fine.





Someone at the hospital near me named their baby Gangsta....





....that is a ghetto name.





Congratulations on your baby and your good taste. :)
Reply:no, doesnt sound ghetto
Reply:Who cares what other people think! You be you and name her with what you think her personality is!!!! It is what you matters!!!! Get a hold of you self! I have been where you are and I name my son what I though he would be like! And you know what, his personality matches his name just great! I so hope i helped!
Reply:yes
Reply:I don't think so.. It sounds like a German name.. and it's very pretty!
Reply:yeah, it's pretty ghetto.
Reply:Why worry about what people think? If it's a name you like and you're sure thats the name that you want to give your child then give it to her.
Reply:no. i think that's a very pretty and unique name. i'm pregnant right now and if i have a girl i'm going to name her lalani rose. of course, if it's a boy, i still have to find a unique boy's name.....


i grew up with a very common name and i don't like common names. my name is jenifer. how plain is that. you want something that will turn heads and make people think "wow. that's different, i like it." as long as it's not completely off the wall like himelfarb or something, you're fine.
Reply:do you WANT people to think your ghetto?








let me tell you about ghettos... they are not what TV and rap songs make of them.





no one WANTS to grow up in a ghetto, its the place you live when you HAVE to because the government is run by gay white males, with their shiny $100 boots on the throats of all the families in the ghetto.








so, if you are TRYING to name your baby something "ghetto"





then you are unfit and too immature to be a mother.
