Is the name "Kiana" ghetto?

My name is Kiana and I have always loved my name, and them someone told me it was ghetto. Last time I checked it was Hawaiian, soooo. . . what do you think?





P.S. it is pronounced: ke-ah-nah, but spelled Kiana!

Is the name "Kiana" ghetto?
no if it was you probably wouldn't love your name





that person that said that was prolly just a hater


Do you think the name Brooklyn for a girl is ghetto?

My friend lives in L.A. but is originally from Brooklyn %26amp; wants to name her daughter Brooklyn, but it reminds me of the brooklyn ghetto, do you like the name?


i do give her points though because it is not a trendy name like ashley or emily, etc..

Do you think the name Brooklyn for a girl is ghetto?
Brooklyn is a little harsh, how about suggesting the name Brooke to


her instead?
Reply:Brooklyn is a lot trendier than Ashley and Emily. At least Emily and Ashley have been used as names for a few centuries, not just since the Beckhams gave the name to their kid.





Honestly, after living in Brooklyn for 5 years, I can tell you it's not the type of place you'd want to name a pretty little girl after. It's not all ghetto by any means, but it isn't a beautiful historic city like Savannah or Paris.





Brooke is pretty
Reply:No its not ghetto, but a lot of people are starting to name their kids that, so its starting to get beg.





Emily and Ashley are not to trendy, but Ashley is very commen.





Why are people giving thumbs down, I think some people just go around giving thumbs down just to be assholes, how pathetic.
Reply:I Like Brooklyn.





Like you said, it's not to trendy and I think it is pretty. Personally, it doesn't make me think of the ghetto, it sounds Like Brooke and Lynn, and I think it is cool that the name has meaning since the mom is from Brooklyn=]
Reply:I definitely don't live in the ghetto, and I know 2 girls and 1 boy named Brooklyn(n), and they all really like their names. I also really enjoy the name, and forget how it sounds if you like it do it! :)
Reply:I second the name "Brooke." Brooklyn can get a bad rap at times, and any time Brooklyn is in the news, that child is not going to want to be mocked at recess.
Reply:Brooklyn is not a bad name, My niece's name is Brooklyn and its very cute.





I dont hear it much.





and ashley and emily those names are played out. they are wayyy to common she should try something new like Talina hhaa
Reply:I think it's tacky to name a child after a place... like Paris, London, Brooklyn, Milan etc.





I do recommend the name Brooke though.
Reply:Brooklyn is better than Bronx as a name, but it is still not a person's name. It is popular though.
Reply:Well I've heard Brooke and Brocklyn before but never Brooklyn as a name. Personally I kinda like it. %26lt;3 Congrats to your friend.
Reply:I like Brooklyn and I think that your friend has a good reason behind the name.
Reply:I think it's very pretty.
Reply:no, I know a cheerleader, white ***** too her name is brooklyn.
Reply:I love the name.
Reply:I like it
Reply:the name is really cute and you don't here it too often.
Reply:No I think that it is a really nice name for a girl
Reply:The names Ashley or Emily are NOT trendy. LOL they are the opposite of trendy!





Brooklyn however would be a trendy name since it's not common. People are naming their kids after cities, towns, countries, etc and that is trendy, b/c it's the current trend.





I don't think it's a ghetto name at all. Brooklyn is not all ghetto. I'm assuming you've never been to a real ghetto?!





Don't judge your friend, be happy for her and welcome little Brooklyn into the world!!


Do you know someone who named their kid something really ghetto? If so what was the name?

A woman I used to work with named all of her kids, and she had a lot of them, after cars made by KIA. There names were like Amante and Rio. That's about as ghetto as it gets. If you must for some reason name your kid after a car, at least make it a luxury car.

Do you know someone who named their kid something really ghetto? If so what was the name?
"De Ja El."





Yeah, when I saw that one I said "the only people I've ever heard of having -El as the last part of their name are Kal-El (Superman's real name) and Jor-El (Superman's dad's name.) And you, kid, are no Superman."





And "Tequila." Seriously.
Reply:would you believe my grandmother named my little cousin shaniqua? and I have another one named chaquita but they were named back in the late 70s early 80s when it wasn't that big of a deal.

DiAngelo is pretty ghetto - but it's begun to grow on me. Must be pregnancy hormones.

Reply:Yes I do.





What about Kaylah?
Reply:i do not think it is anything but fake! sorry i think of the fake jackalope when i hear that "name" please just go with jack or jackie good luck.
Reply:Yes. Please give your child a name he/she won't be embarrassed to have at age 30. What's cute or hip or popular now will be cheesy in a decade or three.
Reply:It sounds like you've just coughed up something nasty, it's very harsh sounding.

Reply:Afraid so.
Reply:a name from Africa.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:yes, now make me best answer:)
Reply:I've had the name for thirty-nine years and never thought of it as ghetto. I have been looking for the origin of the name. My parents changed the spelling to Jacala. I can say, that it is a good conversation starter after introductions. I've had fun with it. I've only met one other Jakala in my lifetime and heard of just two or three others. I thought I heard it on a commercial last week. I was disappointed. It was so original. Makayla was close but still didn't ruin it.
Reply:Yes I think so too
Reply:Yes
Reply:yup
Reply:I would look at the name Jakala on a resume and toss it in the garbage.
Reply:Sounds more red neck than ghetto.
Reply:Yes. I can hardly pronounce it though.
Reply:Yes. To me it sounds like the name of a felon.

Do you like the name Brookelynn for a girl or maybe a different spelling?

How about this name for a girl? Does it sound ghetto/?
Brooklyn is a beautiful name my cousins has it, I love it!
Reply:That sounds like a nice name, but I'd spell it more traditionally - BROOKLYN. If you go with a spelling that is too unique, then she'll be correcting people on how to spell her name for the rest of her life (which can be a little annoying). It is a unique/special enough name that it doesn't need a special way to spell it! :)
Reply:I named my daughter Brooke i almost did brookelyn but finding a middle name i found difficult. Needless to say we are white and her name is Brooke and everyone i have come across likes it. We used Elizabeth as a middle name.
Reply:I like the name spelled Brooklyn. When my aunt was pregnant she actually considered the names Brooke and Lynn as first and middle names.
Reply:Brooklin is my favorite spelling for that name. or Brooke-Lynn. it's a really pretty name.
Reply:i not a fan of those names..but if u like it i wouldnt spell it with an "e", or i like it if her 1st name was brooke and middle name was lynne or lyn or lynn
Reply:I like it, but it's too long a name for a kid to learn . . (I know from experience but shortened it should be great!)
Reply:ghetto
Reply:i say braiylee, bryndall or brylee is better(if u want it too start with a B)...although if u did name it that u could call her brooke 4short
Reply:Not another with the Brooklyn. Geez. Name her Brooke Anne, or Brooke Leigh, or Brooke Claire, just not Brooklyn.
Reply:Yes, but there are way too many letters.





I love the name, but please, spell it like Brooklyn





It's just so much more simple.

Is this name ghetto to you?

Just a few minutes ago I saw a question on here asking about ghetto names and a popular answer was "Shaneequa" or "Shaniqua" (people spelled it different ways), but one of my best friends names is Shanequa and it's kinda common around here. Is that name (Shanequa) ghetto to you? There were other answers that were common to me too. Someone even said any name with 4 letters. wtf?

Is this name ghetto to you?
you only missing my girl shantiniqua and you in the South south Bronx. GHETTO.lmao
Reply:Not really. Most of the ghettos I know have names like "Little Vietnam", "The Alley Maze", or "Punk Corner".





On a serious note. I am in conflict with myself over this sort of thing. While I find "new" spellings of names appalling on one hand (it reminds me of our tendency to just butcher the English language and then make it trendy and cool to do so) I also realize that every generation likes to make things their own and that we, in fact, butchered other languages to get the language that I and others prize so vehemently. I never see a person complain about how we've torn apart the Greek or German tongue to get our current language...
Reply:Elaina and Jeffrey/Geoffrey are older names. If ghetto names mean "made-up" names, then I would say yes they are. Sorry, but I would never in a million years saddle my kid with any of those names. They are as bad as the 60s names like Moonbeam, Star, etc.
Reply:YES to all of the girl ones, and yes to all of them except Jeffery on the boy's list. the thing that makes names "ghetto" is spelling them obnoxiously. ie emily- emhilley
Reply:All are pretty ghetto except Jeffery....I gotta buddy named Jeff is he is certainly not ghetto, more like a big, fat, bald, white guy
Reply:they are all ghetto except for Geoffery/Jeffery..Elaina sounds a little more european or russian.

Reply:Ahlea, Elaina, Geoffery/Jeffery are the only ones that don't sound ghetto to me.

Why do people say that my name is ghetto?

My name is Charlyndria. And my mom said it was the name of a Carribbean Princess living in Jamacia that was conquered by Europeans

Why do people say that my name is ghetto?
is that really ur name? i dont think its "ghetto". it sounds kinda fancy
Reply:No it isn't a Ghetto name it's a Very Beautiful name their Jealous that's all Ignore them.Good Luck
Reply:It sounds ghetto. How are they supposed to know its a Jamaican princess? If indeed it is.
Reply:"A rose by any other name is still a rose...". Ghetto is only a name in itself. What falls into this so-called "ghetto" category will change. The true meaning of ghetto had nothing to do with names; it meant a place or area where groups of people were forced to live, either by the government or by poverty. The Warsaw Ghetto was an excellent example of the true meaning of Ghetto. It stood for poverty, disease, racism and true EVIL. People today take that word much too lightly. Girl, these people don't even know the true meaning of Ghetto. Charlyndria, be proud and carry your name as your mother meant for it to be.

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!

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.

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....

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.


Is my name ghetto?

am a black female and my mother spelt my name a'yrin and you say it like erin but white people always add extra things to the end like callin me arriana even though my name doesn't and extra a in it. is there a nice way 4 me to tell people to say my name and not think i'm ghetto

Is my name ghetto?
No, ghetto is disrespectful and demeaning. I think you have a beautiful name. I'm a black male and my mother named me Eldra and everybody blacks included just knows how to chop it up. Do you think my name is weird?
Reply:i dont think ur ghetto
Reply:definialtylyafswa not!
Reply:I am Australian a lot of immigrants espessially from asia adopt our first names so it easier for them and us .I would have trouble pronouncing your fisrt name but Erin is not that common here so it would be a perfect name for you to use !! So Erin I dont know what ghetto has to do with what your called this is to me an American term we use to describe poorer areas where people live in lower class housing here we call them Slums the exact same meaning as America uses .My ex wife came from the slums and was an exellent wife but unfortunately as time went by she wanted her freedom to be single again so I am divorced now and spend a lot of time on my computer trying to help people who cant afford professional help .Just because you may come from a ghetto does not mean you are not a nice person never forget that love yourself as a human being and a worthwhile person and forgive us that we cant say your birth name its not on purpose just a lack of understanding .SMILE and have a nice day Erin ....from john.
Reply:no, its not ghetto, its unique. Just in a nice way correct the person, that way you are educating them on the right way to pronounce your name. my real name is Evelisse (from spain), ever since elementary school nobody ever heard that name and make a mockary of it. now I am Liz. and now at an older age I wish I stayed w/ my real name.





good luck Liz
Reply:Yes, just smile sweetly and confidently and say your name right.and say it sounds the same just spelled differently.
Reply:just tell people its pronounced "erin". its spelled funny, but its still a nice name.
Reply:All you have to say is, "It's pronounced Erin, not Arriana," but you say it nicely, not in a snobby way. It's that easy.
Reply:Just correct them. Your mom was pretty creative with the spelling is all, which confuses us white folks. Don't take it personal - we were taught to sound out words / names, so we tend to try and sound out each syllable. Ever try and read the names in the Bible - good heavens!!!
Reply:word
Reply:Tell them it's pronounced like Erin.
Reply:Don't feel bad, my Mom spelled my name, and left the "e" off the end of a very traditional name. People massacre my name, nobody can spell it, or say it..I long gave up, and call my self by my nickname.I just make sure it is spelled right on legal documents.


Just tell people your mother got creative, and spelled Erin with a "Y". they will understand, LOL, I sure do!
Reply:while it's great the spelling of your name is unique, you're going to have to deal with pronunciation issues for a while. My last name is two letters and I still get people botching it up. So unless you goto city hall to change it, you might as well suck it up and just go with whatever people call (mispronounce) you.
Reply:When people say/write your name wrong, just correct them in a polite manner. "Oh, it's "A'yrin", not "Arriana". People tend to have problems with exotic names. Where I live people find my name very exotic and have a hard time getting it right. Don't be offended or read too much into it, your name is just unusual, which causes people to have problems with it.





I don't think your name sounds ghetto.
Reply:just say i my name is unique and it's actually pronounced erin however it doesn't look like it
Reply:no its cool cuz its original and i bet noone else has that name
Reply:Actually it sounds more like a white hippie name than a ghetto name.

Hey, my name is Celyra and it is pronounced sa-leer-ra and I was told recently that my name was ghetto, when in fact, it means "from heaven' in a south american dialect. I was wondering if you thought it was ghetto.

Reply:Well I never really know what people mean by "ghetto" - I sometimes suggest names form classical Greece and Rome and are told they are "ghetto". When I see children from ghettos on the news, they just have the same sorts of names that people pick for their kids on here - Peyton, Troy, Bella and Zander and so on.





But Celyra is a very pretty name - it is the South American form of Celia.
Reply:I don't know what a ghetto name sounds like. I'm not being disengenous or playing dumb to be politically correct. I once met two white, suburban little girls named Ashanti and Maisha. Those names I would have associated with African American children, so there is one less stereotype for me to follow. Names are given across cultures and economic backgrounds, no name is an "educated" name even if your name is Albert after Albert Einstein or Niels after Niels Bohr. What makes a name is the name bearer.
Reply:I like it. It's interesting and unique (without being weird - like Apple or something). Plus, you know the meaning and the origin - it's not like your parents picked some random word. Whoever told you it was "ghetto" clearly doesn't know anything about anything. I say tell them to shove it!
Reply:It's not ghetto. It's actually quite sensual.

They don't have anything better to do with their time but to hate on you but you need to keep all haters and enemies closer to you than anything (including PIMP).

isabelle is cute. but layla is off beat and its georgous but easy to pernounce.

Does this name sound Ghetto to you?

I want to name my baby (if a girl) Desreea (Dez-Ree-Uh) is that a name that sounds ghetto to you? My friends tease me and say if you name your baby that, think about when they fill out an application! They're not going to get hired lol lol... Someone help me :o(

Does this name sound Ghetto to you?
Yes, it does sound silly and made up. I wouldn't call it ghetto. Sounds more trailer trash to me. So does Desiree. I find it tacky to name a child 'desire'. I would try to find a name with history and class behind it that's spelled properly.





How about:





Deirdre


Daria


Delilah


Dahlia


Daphne


Reya


Riona


Leah





Good luck!

Reply:Children are NOT a canvas for their parents creativity.





Do not saddle the child with a difficult name just because you have some creative inclinations. Odd names like that set the child up for ridicule by their school peers, and frankly make it difficult to get a good job when they become adults.

Unusual names are a hard line, too odd and it's a bad thing, but Desreea sounds a lot like some very common names, while still being unique. I have whaqt most people think is an unusual name, and I wouldn't change it for the world.





Good luck, and don't let some people's boring narrow assumptions stop you from naming your baby something that you love.
Reply:Why not choose Desiree? It's very similar and much more common, i.e. easily recoginzable.
Reply:If you have to ask 'does this name sound ghetto', the answer should be obvious.





Name your girl Desiree. Desreea sounds like diarhea.

Reply:the name doesnt sound ghetto but the way you spell it does
Reply:yes.
Reply:oh.......at first I thought you meant Desiree. I prefer that. I think the name you picked is pretty ghetto.
Reply:She will probably be called Desi or Ree when she gets to school. Make sure you can stand the nicknames.
Reply:It's kind of annoying when people try to make a name more interesting by changing the spelling. It still gets pronounced the original way, so why not keep it simple. I hate to say it, but it does sound a bit "ghetto." It's like naming a kid Ikea (true story).
Reply:YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Reply:no, i think it is an adorable pretty name! i actually quite like it...what about Desarea with the a, pronounce Dez-a-ray
Reply:You can name your baby whatever name you want to name her, i think its cute :)

Reply:i dont think names sound ghetto to me. i think its fine(i have a cool suggesttion, Neva'cia, sounds like navasha)
Reply:Sounds like diahrrea (sp?), sorry
Reply:I think it's a cute name. People are always saying that but I think if they see everything else she has to offer her name will be one to remember. That resume or application want get lost in the bunch like plain common names Emily, Jane and Jack. Anyways just be careful with the spelling.
Reply:I like it! What about Dalyla Nicole though? Thats a good name.
Reply:Your friend is right.
Reply:Yeah, it does. Think about the child and how/what they will have to deal with with the name you give them.
Reply:I do think it's ghetto, sorry!





How about Dahlia?
Reply:it doesnt sound ghetto just made up by a 15 year old. id go down another lane and choose a different name
Reply:I think that is a sort of silly name. I would go for something a little more common. It is smart of you to think about what your child will be treated as with their name. What about a different name like Summer or Mae? Those are cute and interesting.
Reply:it sounds like diarrhea. the teasing in school would be terrible.

Is my name ghetto (im not sure but wanna no) im bored?
The only Mariah I've ever known was white, preppy, and attended a Catholic school. I've never considered it ghetto, and I think that, personal associations aside, it doesn't seem very ghetto at all.





I mean, yeah, it reminds me of Mariah Carey, but that's about all it does, and it doesn't make me think the name is ghetto.
Reply:I went to school with a white Mormon girl named Mariah. She was in no way ghetto, and I never thought her name was ghetto at all.
Reply:Mariah is a very old and classic name, its not "ghetto" at all





Ghetto names are like Latayziah and D'awntaye

Benita is a Hispanic name. There are lots of girls named Benita in Argentina.
Reply:no it doesn't. but names dont define how a person acts. a teenager down the block from me, who is white, is named ryan, and he likes to act "ghetto". so names dont define a person.
Reply:Nope. Comes off as a Spanish name. But depends who hears it. I'm Hispanic so that's what it sounds like to me, but may be some who thing it's ghetto.
Reply:No. Why is anything not European sounding or anything

IYO: What is the difference between an ethnic name and a "ghetto" name?

I have my opinion on the difference...


Many people think that just a name is not in the top 100 names for babies it's unusual and awkward. Many names that are commonly used by african americans are actual names not made up like many people think they are. Here's a few examples in the difference...





Ethnic Names:


Hakeem


http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com...


Jamal


http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com...


Rashida


http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com...


Naima


http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com...


Omarion


http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com...





"Ghetto" Names:


Latavia


LaQuorsha


Tashinique


Jevarius








I know that this subject not only applies to African Americans because other races have their differences too. And I hate to loosely throw around the term "ghetto" but I really wanted some insightful opinion of what the differences are. If you examples of the ethnic/weird difference in your race, please feel free to share.





In your opinion, how would you explain the difference? Please, only answer intellectually. If you are not capable of giving a justifed educated opinion, don't answer.

IYO: What is the difference between an ethnic name and a "ghetto" name?
How about names that are red neck or trailer trash? Like Bobby Jo, Carol Ann, Dolly, Lorrie, Dewayne, Buddy, Bud...





BTW there is no such thing as race, there is only economic strata and tribes, we are genetically not unique to even qualify as having subspecies in humans so I do not feel there is any good way to qualify folks as being of a different race. Well, that's coming from my biological/evolutionary/geneticist/anthr... thinking, at most we come from familial moieties. The real difference you are illustrating here with those names is not ghetto or African American, it's economic stratas - same with trailer trash vs. middle class names. Your "ethnic" names were likely researched and meanings decided on (think educated parents) while the "ghetto" names were names that the parents liked the sound of and often combined names to make a name they liked to hear instead of ones that had meanings that were important to the parents. Same deal with "Bobby Jo", perhaps my least favorite name of all time.
Reply:I agree with you. It seems like most ghetto names are just random letters with a La- or De- or Ja- in front. Ethnic names are unusual, but when you see them, or hear them, they don't evoke images of the girl in your 7th grade history class named Shaniqua. (B/c everyone's been in class with that girl) Ethnic names seem to have an air of class, even though I may have never heard the name.
Reply:I would just have to say that ethnic names have meanings, and are special to the name-ees. But, "ghetto" names just seem to be thrown out there to be different, and frankly sometimes hard to pronounce! I have no problem with either, but I think the 'ethnic' way is a much more repsectable route! =)

How can a name be ghetto?
Reply:no such thing as a ghetto name Report Abuse

Reply:A ghetto name is 3 syllables and used only by black people. Here are many examples: http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.... Report Abuse

Reply:Different factors may cause this behavior.





*Self-hate caused by racial indoctrination.


* Association. This factor is very strong and is very hard to escape. Imagine you grow up in a low-income neighborhood and a lot of the girls there have names like Rashanda, Takia, Shaneeka, Shanequa. As time passes you will realize that this names are mostly given to people that belong to a certain group. So you will develop a mental relationship, which is that the chances of someone having one of those names and being a low income and unsophisticated are much higher than the chances of that person not being those things. This logic is flawed because it is only rational to think that if a large number of AA live in the ghetto a lot of people in the ghetto will have names that are considered black. You can revert this for instance. If you ask an AA about names that sound racist you can be sure that they're going to choose names that are used mainly by whites only. So names like John, Mike, and Peter will may sound more friendly to their ears, but a name like Friedrich which is used mostly be Europeans will be perceived as "more racist",





This might not be what people want to think, but I try not to base my answers on wishful thinking.
Reply:usually in most occassions/ SOMETIMES!!!!!!!! if a name has 3 syllables its considered a ghetto name, and people all get defensive when people say that its a ghetto name but it is marquisha, renisha marquida, laniqua roshanda narkiki naimisha shanikua shamina mashina niquama mariqua rashida marisqua zamina nequama jariq devonte jamani jovani jokomi ............ and i can go on and on, the funny thing is i know people with most of these names and im from the hood so im just being real about wether you like it or not!








~~~~~~~~





haha, see what did i say the girl above me has one of the names i mentioned LOL and i didnt even see hers, i can guarante if you live in the hood or know someone from the hood, they have at least 3 of the names i mentioned
Reply:dont listen to girls on this they answer these sorts of questions as frivilously as theyre asked.





I think your answer is that guys need to be assholes to get most girls these days, so guys will tease any little thing about a girl, thinking that the girl will respond positively (they usually do) the guy doesnt mean anything he says, hes just tryna play the game.





Of course occasionally a girl will get genuinely offended or upset inspite of all this being so obvious and the fact its the girls that demand this sort of behaviour, its best at this point for the guy to change his strategy realising this is a girl who either doesnt play the game (is a nice girl) or is just a pig headed ***** who plays badly and should be avoided.

Is Daelyn a ghetto name?

My boyfriend's sister named her baby Daelyn Rochell and my boyfriend thinks it sounds so ghetto. I think it sounds alright. I mean I wouldn't name my child that, but I don't think it's ghetto. What do you all think?

Is Daelyn a ghetto name?
Yep it's ghetto.


And you can't even shorten it to something decent. Maybe she could nickname her Rocky - trashy but not ghetto. Poor kid. Maybe she could change the name before the kid learns it. LOL
Reply:It's not too trashy. Though I don't really like the Rochell part. There's a city here in NY called New Rochelle, and I'm not too fond of Rochell as a name.





I think if it were Daelyn Alexandra or Daelyn Lucille, or something less unique would sound better. Daelyn Michele would have been a good choice too.


Congrats to the family though! :)

What constitutes a "ghetto" name?

Names that are branded "ghetto" have been a hot topic lately so I did my research and found that most of the names that people claim to be "ghetto" have Latin, Arabic, or African roots. Yet these names are often ridiculed for "having no meaning" and associated with being "ghetto" and/or stupid.





I was just wondering...what makes a name "ghetto?"

What constitutes a "ghetto" name?
Why don't people criticize and call names like "Bristol", "Trig", "Piper", etc. ghetto? Cause those names surely have no meaning what so ever. If you ask me, I think it's a cultural standard, and those not familiar with the black race must criticize what is unique because it is not of their own. They don't understand it, that's why.
Reply:A lot of ghetto names want to sound African, but they are actually not. It's like they are trying to "Americanize" an African name. There have been a lot of educated people named "ghetto" names, but because of stereotypes they are automatically assumed to be stupid or "ghetto". Although, it would not be a good idea to have your kid be named something "ghetto". It can hurt their job opportunities, because when people see that name on an application, they probably won't hire them.
Reply:I don't think any name is "ghetto," just unique. I think the names that are branded as ghetto are the ones of African origin, but have bastardized spelling.





Oh, I guess you can say naming your kids after household items (know a person who did this!) can be considered be considered "low class" by some people. Meh @ socialization.





Oddly (for me only), I associate Britney with head cases (a la pop star).
Reply:names that are just trrown together, I am a big advocate on not giving your child a name that doesn't sound professional. Do you really want your child to be judge,by a name alone. Many people assocaite ghetto with black people, but tthere are whites who indeed do some ignorant things to their children's names such as stormie, braylynn, chevy. It is not so much getto names it is names that are ignorant and selfish. the parents don't have to live with the name teh children do. Imagine being named Cinquanta, or shaqualla. Those are just two girls I graduated with
Reply:if its like laquisha, larisha, taquanisha, etc. ghetto





edit~~~~ clueless to why they say its ghetto but my friends have some extremes like nashabel,roshanda, naquita, laneira my friends daughters name is anquinese .........? but i do think britney, is a ghetto name for white people lol
Reply:names that are generally unique to people from the ghetto. that seems to be the most logical explanation. yes, most have african roots, but the general public doesn't always know that.
Reply:heh nothing makes them better than any other name, all a name is is a title to give you so they don't have to run after you screaming " hey you!!" all the time, without names there would be quite a lot of "yous" out there don't ya think?
Reply:People say my name is ghetto, I tell them to get lost. It sounds unique and different.
