Black Baby Names...

...are surprisingly conservative nowadays.


And that's a damn shame. Kunta Kinte went through hell trying to keep white people from knowing how to pronounce our names and here y'all come along just naming your child Toby. *smdh*

Madison? Really? That's the new Becky.


In case you're wondering, I've always loved unisex names like Shannon and Courntney, but my first rugrat (boy or girl) will be Tracy Porter (donor's last name). For real, for real.

    I know Jada growing up the only other Jasmine I knew was Jasmine Guy. But I love the name Madison. IF I have another one and it's a girl that will be her name.
