Although black folks are the most "creative" when it comes to naming their kids, white folks either get creative with alternative spellings (Sandee, Brytnee) or give them a yuppie name like Cameron (Spanish for Shrimp!) or Parker.

The alternative spellings are bad, but then, there are certain names that (IMHO) are just bad news no matter how they are spelled: Brandy or Brandi, Candy or Candi, Duane or Dewayne, etc. I think if you're white and you get one of those names, you're condemned to work at a - er, "gentlemen's club" at the truckstop or to get arrested for making meth in your singlewide.
