Actually it started with Spanish constructed names and vaguely Hawaiian names because they sounded “exotic.” Now they are “African” names, just like those people in Brazzaville who put Spanish endings on their female names. I just call them by the generic “Scrabble’ because it appears to me as if their mamas dumped out a bag of scrabble tiles and lined up a few of them and that was the name to go on the birth certificate.
A story was related to me where this black woman named her daughter Female (pr. fee-mal-ee) because that was what was on the info sheet attached to her crib.
Good grief!
There ain’t a more confused “culture” out there in existence than BLM hoodies.
There is nothing “spanish” or “hawaiian” about them either. LOL!
I heard the ER residents in some inner city hospital had an ongoing competition to see what ridiculous things they could get the teenagers to name their newborns. One pulled off “Placenta”, but they made him go back and talk her out of it.

Excellent...I always said picked out letters of the alphabet blind folded but I like your explanation better.
