Hey it isn't just limited to "African"-Americans. I have plenty of caucasion friends who give their kids seemingly "normal" names. Then you find out they are spelling it some really strange way. Poor kid is going to be correctly people their whole life. Idiot parents.
I have also seen some young people change the spelling of their name to differentiate themselves from others with similar names.
These people invariable are insecure or egotistical.
