I lived in an urban area that printed the names in the paper. The names were either African derivatives(La prefix or Da prefix), respect names (like Prince or Major) or Bible names. I never saw a medical term.

And, there is also a definite trend among white to name their kids those yuppy sounding names. Finally, there is truly a groiwing trend among Asians to name their kids the most common American names, though I still see traditional Asian names as well.

And, I know you are right about "Prince," which is another popular black male of today's students.

This is Antawn Jamison. It's pronounced Ant-wahn. Why is it spelled that way? He admits it's because his Mom couldn't spell and she didn't bother to make sure she spelled her kid's name correctly.
