I looked at two lists of popular African American baby names [their terminology, not mine]. Barack wasn’t on either, but Malik was on both.
Malik is the Obama half brother who has been very critical of Barack.

I was watching a detective show and a witness name was Chevetta. How creative.

My great-niece gave birth to a girl yesterday, named her "Olive". Poor little thing will forever be called "Olive Oyl".
Have heard some odd boys' names lately: Foster, Franklin, Finley. Whatever happened to Michael, James, William, etc.?
