Very common first name these days in America, but unheard of in Africa.

"Very common first name these days in America, but unheard of in Africa."

I've read that the last couple of years in California that 30% of the first names given to Black infant females is shared by no-one else in the state for that year.

It's just our Euro-centric bias that causes us to think it's strange. Eh?
