I bet you're wrong, because I have read class list after list of actual names of black kids in schools today. I can tell you I never once saw an "Alan." Nor did I ever see many other common names. There is truly a trend among blacks today to name their children the most unique and different names they can think of. And, not necessarily "African" names. Like I said, go to an inner city school and let us know what you find out. I bet you will be stunned.

This whole "medical term" name thing is something that white people tell themselves to entertain each other. "Oh look at those silly Negroes". You forget that ALL white people name their children after pickup trucks. Cheyenne, Dakota...I heard of one white family that named their kids after Fords...F-150, F-250 and Dooley.

True story:

I met a white guy from WV during basic training at Ft. Knox many years ago. His name was/is Gordon Gordon Gordon.

He reminds me of George Foreman's kids.

My local paper has a page in today where parents could buy space for a photo of a baby born in 2002. Out of the nearly 150 baby names on the page, there isn't a single one that I would name a child.
Particular standouts are JaColby (boy), Kolbie (girl) and Cerenity. And let's not forget Destinni.

I went to high school with a girl named Vaseline Wineglass - still the strangest name I've seen.

Don't confuse this fellow with reality...

His body and mind have been taken over by that extra-terrestrial force, Political Correctness.
A mind like concrete: all mixed up and permanently set.

I think there might be some class differences ---around here you only see middle class military black families and they seem to pick those Asian names like Mike, Steven, John, Kelly, Dawn, Karen.
