er. . .

anything wrong with chimamanda? grin

no talk too much about aa names - one of reuben abatis articles highlighted the ijaws' penchant for funny names - celtel , contract; this was during the census - he was redicting a lot of kids born nne months later might thus be named census

what do y'all think of endurance, jouful, fruitful, happiness, etal grin?

Absolutely nothing.
It has a meaning.
It's an Igbo name

It means My God will not fail.

Chi m a ma nda is the correct way to put it in a sentence

Is it the amanda bit that's confusing you?
At least we know the meanings of Joyful and Happiness
what is Maquisha? grin

Ok, how do you not get angry, when someone name their kid, "Shithead" pronounced Shayteed. Tell me, if you see that name on a resume, how will you summon the courage not to just dump the resume into the trash. Your name, whether you like it or not, is important. Shayteed, will never be more than a Wal-Mart overnight stocker. Can you imagine you going to ER and you begin to fill the form and it says Dr Shithead is your attending Dr. How will you react? Lets call a spade a spade. Its good to be unique, but Yugoz,  is not a name.

Black people, we sure can do better.

So, Mr Ndipe, you are a recruiter. You see, Shithead Deshawn, GPA 3.5 and Apple Stone, GPA 3.5. Which one will you call for the interview?

You think Im in denial like you? Im well AWARE of what they say about Africans on the forums and in public. Not that I expect a wannabe like yourself to know the "teach me about the motherland bullshit" are genuine.

and I have the right to do whatever I want. Have a problem then go troll Black Planet and quit whining in every thread cos you're dating an akata. No one cares.

LMAO!!~~Akata

The African Americans I hang with are not the ones You describe.~~There are some foolish AA"s out there.I am pretty sure you have met many of them~~So what~~~Does that give You the right to come here and blast everyone of them~~You are a grown lady,You should know better~~Of course You have the right to do whatever,Everyone have the right to do what they want.I have a right to walk up to my neighbor and slap the shit outta her~Your Boss have the right to fire you~~Does that make it right?~~HELL NO~~~"I have the right to do whatever I want" should not be the reason for Your ignorant reasoning~~***!!

Wannabe?WTF!!

Me dating an "akata" is not the reason for my venting~~If a Nairalander was putting down Chinese or Mexicans,I will take a stand againts them~~~I JUST HATE IGNORANCE!!

Point of correction, just because I said I know someone with such a stupid name, doesn't mean the person is my friend. I guess, you don't work with people or go to school with people. Pray tell, are they all your friends?

If you like, fire on all cylinders, I won't bother with you. If someone is named Shithead and you really don't think something is wrong with that, I can't help you.

What is stupid is stupid.

That fool is lying, and even if he wasn't--- the name he presented would not be pronounced as shit head, but rather as Shi-theed, much like the common Islamic name "Shaheed". Only an illiterate, culturally insensitive Ass Hole such as that lying poster,  would actually think up such foolishness. Pay that fool no mind, sis.

damn KB1 you are spitting fire. LOL

@pops what may sound stupid to you sounds good to them

i knew somebondy named quamantay. it sounded horrible to me but it sounded good to the mother. forgeiner names same horrible to me. but those are their cultural names. foreigners have stupid sounding names to people not in their ethnic groups. so why pick on black americans?

@osisi
black americans names have no origin. they not going to have meaning. like white americans names which usually derived from latin, greek, ect.

Still going around with your fake story of an Igbo wife you wannabe peterpuffer?   cheesy No matter how many genetics test you take, you will never be Nigerian or Igbo, psychotic reject.

MAny of those black American names have me rolling often.

All those Deniqua, Shequan, Kweenisha, etc. Men, there are some names in this world o. It would have been better if the names had any meanings as a redeeming feature, some of them don't. Pity. undecided

The ones that supposedly have meaning are usually Islamic. Why they are so obsessed with a religion most of them know so little about. must be the "wannabe Malcolm X" syndrome
