Here are some names I've heard here in rural central VA:

Afealia (pronounced "Ah-Feel-ya") and Toenaylia (pronounced "Toe-nail-ya"), DeShawn, LaMont, LeVaughn (pronounced "Lee-Vaughn") & LaMar (pronounced "La-Mah"); DuMont, DuMar or DaMar (pronounced "Doo-Mah" & "Da-Mah"), Tameeka & Tameekwa; Shaneekwa & Shameekwa; DaLong & Darnell (pronounced "Dah-Nayl").

It may be a "Southern" thing, I don't know...?

Some of those names you mentioned are quite common from what I have seen of today's students.

We may know some of the same people. We lived in Stanardsville 6 years and I worked at UVa for awhile, then in Culpeper. The contrast between the preppy UVa and the rural countryside surrounding it was fascinating.
