I feel sorry for some of these kids...their parents are so desperate to make their children distinguishable from others they saddle their kids with these ghastly names for life...

Where do they get them from? The Nairobi phone book?

Nairobi?

Please, not one of these names has any basis in the languages or cultures of Africa, they literally just invent one that they think sounds “african” and saddle their poor children with them.

Working at a community college, I do see some of the most ridiculous names. The worst, IMO, are ones where they take a fairly normal name and then grotesquely misspell it to make it seem unique. Something like Kailee or Shahnaa (I would have to go look at user accounts to find a real example as I try to purge those abominations from my memory). It’s really quite cruel since you have just guaranteed that nobody but your kid will ever spell their name correctly.
