I was told that these weird names were their African heritage names

Somebody made a fortune off the African Book of Names...........

I always chuckle when I think about the parents of Michigan State wide receiver Plaxico Burress when asked about the origin of his first name.

The mother said that "Plaxico" was African for "survivor"............oooooooh kay.....LOL!

Myself, I always thought it was a fictitious plastics company.........

From the web: :The name Plaxico is ranked on the 82,530th position of the most used names. It means that this name is rarely used.

We estimate that there are at least 600 persons in the world having this name which is around 0.001% of the population. The name Plaxico has seven characters. It means that it is relatively medium-length, compared to the other names in our database.

We do not have enough data to display the number of people who were given the name Plaxico for each year.

Actually I think it's the name of an allergy medicine.

Bet they took several Scrabble games and put all the tiles in a hat and kept pulling them out until they could form some sort of name.
