I was searching Google to try and figure out what the hell kind of name "Tajuan" is - when I found a related thread on FR to this.

Different title, so it didn't show up in FR search.

Butchered, 10 syllable, apostrophe filled names are common with African Americans now, especially females. The more ludricous sounding, the more difficult it is to pronounce, the better they like it. Its a cultural thing, like formalizing ebonics in a name.
