They are urban legends.

They are not all urban legends - go read a class list for classes in an inner city school with black students today. You would be amazed. That is not to say there are not any Davids any more. But, you would be shocked at few Nigel and Davids and the like are in the schools. There are far more names you never heard of, believe me. Try it. Let us know.

The Onion has it oh-so-right about the white, black and asian babies. I was and still am fascinated by the names chosen for babies. I worked in a Texas county OB hospital where the majority of patients were minority, and currently work with birth certificates. I always remember the day a black mom in Texas wanted to name her kid Strawberry Shortcake, and it took a lot to talk her out of it.
