So if they know that their made-up name is a hindrance in getting hired, why not officially change it to something normal? No different than what many persons of certain ethnic groups have done (for example, Chinese).

My wife mentioned to me that she knew a black person who had one of these ghetto names, but personality-wise, was not a ghetto person. As soon as that person became of adult age, they officially changed their name to something non-ghetto.

Good for him/her.
