Ghetto BABY Names....

Where in de hell do people get the names for their kids these days?? My son and I have been compiling a "Ghetto Baby Names" list for the last few years... Whatever happened to names like Lauren, Michael, David, and Brandon? We no longer want those old, traditional names, we want to name our kids after these "Superstars" i.e., Beyonce & Shaquille

Even if we don't use a "Superstars" name, we make up our own name, damn near using hieroglyphics to spell the damn name.... we use phonetic spellings, we use accent marks like they are on sale 2 for 1... It can be so ugly!!! I.e. Appreciante', I told you it can get ugly!! and there are many, many more.... I've even met women who named their daughters after themselves and gave the daughter Jr. to add to her name, what kind of backward ass SHYT is that????

If you EVEN think you might have a GHETTO BABY name to contribute, please feel free to send it to me. Now this list was compiled by me and my family, here we go.....
1. Alize'
2. Lexus (especially if you don't own a car)
3. Mercedes (same as #2)
4. BonQuisha
5. La Shawnte' (any name starting with La)
6. La Quitta
7. Hennessey (just WRONG)
8. KelShanique
9. MayOnnaise (Yes, the condiment)....
10. Traonna
11. Had to remove (he still my baby)
12. Zashanetta
13. LaVetrius
14. Dayshown
15. Daquon
16. Rontoyon

Anonymous said...

Don’t get me wrong I think these ghetto names are funny and I’m all about unique, but I think the saddest thing about these names is that they keep some of these children from having opportunities that they might otherwise have. There have been studies and polls about these types of names.All of them show that whether you’re talking about college or job applications, people (and yes even black people) tend not to give these types of names jobs or interviews. I’m not saying you need to name your son Carlton or Parker, but by giving your kids a”ghetto” name you start him/her off at a disadvantage.

Oh my gosh! I'm a junior in high school and there is all kinds of names! When I was in fourth grade there was a girl named chhibokka and she had a really deep voice. Her best friend in the class was named Orilla and they nicknamed her Gorilla, ha. I made up these awesome black people names, one is Tiantray (tee-on-tray) and Abomanisha (ah-ba-ma-nee-sha).

My cousin says she knows a girl named boomshika but when we act black I prenounce it (boom-shy-ka).

My best friends name is boomshakalakalakaisha and boumchickawowownaynay.

Comment to The Marlo Girl, regarding the name "Xerxes"; it's not really that bad a name when the parents pronounce it the way it's supposed to be, hahaha. XD It's supposed to be "Zer-sees" or "Ser-sees" if I'm not mistaken. But still, not a good name for a kid. And Nefarious? Whyyyyy?
And one of the most....interesting names I've heard is "Amonamalisha." I'm not sure if I'm anywhere near the correct spelling. But it's pretty much the way it's pronounced. XD
My mother works at a school, and one of the children that goes there is named "Blessing." It's ironic because he's a rotten child... >.> Another child is named "Future Tonya." ....So in the future...her name will be Tonya? What's her name now? Poor kid. There should be some sort of rules for naming kids. Like the Chinese couple who wanted to name their baby "@". ...Wwwwwwwwhat?
And this comment has become quite long-winded. So I think I'll just stop now, haha

hello, i have been trying to think of some cute lil boy names. I have 2 beautiful children and thought hard about their names, as they could be in a profession later in life and need to post it on everything!! So my children's names are Omar Kavel (boy) and Imari Jolie. I have 2 others for lil girls that I like, however need atleast 2 more lil boy names that would be unique, but not so unique that they can't spell or barely pronounce their names. (just think of how hard it could be for a preschooler to learn their name.. spelling etc.)

you can email me suggestions (of both sexes) at:
atalouise@inbox.com

please nothing too ghetto (my children's father is from Jamaica, and im from rural Minnesota - so yes they are biracial)
thanks much ^_^

It's obvious that "Southern Belle" and you other dumb dicks think you are so much better than everyone else. You obviously have nothing better to do than to judge others when in reality you can't. You are your own person so why are you so bothered by the fact that someone names their child London. London is a beautiful name. Before you pass judgment look at all your flaws.

This is really sad. I named my daughter Imani but she is so weirded out by different names she wants to change it. I support her because I grew up hating my first name which is a variation on the spelling of a perfectly good French name. I had to change it professionally because I got tired of defending the spelling.

Imani does have African roots and means Faith. One previous blogger added Aliyah. I'm sorry sweetie that is Arabic. Look it up before you tease it. In a couple of years I'm sure we'll run into Lavitra and Mojita.

Here are a couple I've run into.

1. Shunsheila (yes this is a grown woman)
2. Schwartz (the mother pronounced it She-VAHZ)
3. Le'Marcus or any name beginning with La' or Da' or De'. What's wrong with Marcus?
4. Fajita (you got it!)

You should've probably research some of the more common names before you put them on this list. Mercedes is actually a classical name from Spain that is also popular in other European or South American countries. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mercedes.

London is actually very common among white children as well as Asian children born in America (a Disney channel show called "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" features a girl named London). I don't know about you, but Disney isn't what most people would consider ghetto. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_%28name%29

There's some interesting history on one of the names that listed here: Aquanetta.
Burnu Aquanetta - Born July 21, 1921 on an Arapaho reservation, in Cheyenne, Wyoming; she later went on to be one of Hollywood's exotic single-name actresses.
After she retired from film, she married, and she and her husband had a very successful car dealership in Arizona.
She used her wealth to become a philanthropist for a number of Native-American charities.

I'm a recruiter and look at resumes all day. I've seen some good ones, but the one that stands out the most right now is "Fashionetta". Why not just name your kid "Don'tgivemeajob"? Also, a fellow recruiter's full first name is "Teshombrae" but she realized that she got more job offers if she shortened it to "Brae" on her resume.

I'm a teacher and have seen so many "different" types of names come through my classroom. I think the worst part about some of these names is that the parents really have no clue how to spell. The parents then get defensive when you don't know how to pronounce the name...

The newest addition to my classroom: Ja'-a. Now looking at this on my roster I inititally pronounced the name :Jah. But to my horror, the mother quickly jumped up and said "It's pronounced Ja dash a !" Apparantly you're supposed to say "dash" when it's only spelled with a "-". Poor kid.

I work at a library in a predominantly black neighborhood. I don't really have a problem with most of these names (except when it's just totally wack like Oranjello). The problem is when these kids apply for a library card, I ask them how they spell their name and they look at me like I'm crazy because I don't know how to spell "S'Datrious Monte-Shae" (a recent example)

I have been reading all the commnts and have been cracking up.. I went to school with a girl named Cereal Lewis.. That name cracked me up then there was Keechee, Chachi, Jalonia, and Traquita she got called Traquita bananna... I don't know my mom always said when you name your child think about all the nick names kids at school could come up with to tease them about there name.. Like my cousin was nameing her daughter arianna and people could call her air head.. But I just question some peoples thoughts when nameing there new baby i mean dang they didn't ask for the curse of a bad name....

Do people realize they are creating difficulties for their children down the line with these awful names? I could tell by some of the posts that some people think it's cute to give kids these names. I have a friend who works in Human Resources that told me when she comes across names like these, she immediately associates it with something negative and just trashes the resume...and yes she is a black woman!

What happen to normal names!!!
these kid will be so behide in school because they can't spell their names!!! what a mess

Anonymous said...

This is why black people will never raise up out of the ghetto, You have already condemned yourself by slapping ill conceived, ill advised and just plain ill labels on yourself.

No one will ever take a CHOCOLIT, KAPRICE, ALIZE or UNEEKA serious in the real real world. You will never find people with these types of names in position of power or REAL responsibility. You will only find these kinds of names in strip clubs, the service industry and Hip Pop videos. (yes Hip Pop, none of that shit these people listen to is real Hip Hop.)

And for those coming in here with MADE UP meanings for your ridiculous names. You are not fooling anyone, your name was made up, your mother did not have that meaning in mind when she named you. So stop googling and just accept your fate.

The saddest part about this whole thing is everyone outside the ghetto is laughing. You might think its cute to be named after STDs, Liquor, Food and Adjectives. But trust me, no one outside the ghetto think its cute, they think its RIDICULOUS, sad and just plain wrong!

For the unlucky ones who want to be taken serious in the REAL WORLD, get a NAME CHANGE quick, fast and in a hurry.

Or be forever STUCK in the ghetto.

Have of these names aren't even Ghetto. Dequon isn't, Delvon isnt' and my sons name is Devonte. Just because it's looks different from April, or Amanda or something doesn't make it ghetto. It just means that they're unique because of the name that their parents have given to them. Like most of the people on here names are something like Chelsea or Rebeca or something. You guys just have a average name. Thank you!

Anonymous said...

Simple statement, why knowingly give your child more of a challenge by making their resume look like it came from da hood. By naming your kid wit a hood name you, as a parent, hurt your childs future so that you could gain some street cred by being "originale". Until a DeShawn, LeQuisha and Ikia (yes i dated girl named Ikia before I knew it was a furniture store) are running fortune 500 companies "Origninale" names hurt and hide your kids potential.

My friend's cousin works in a doctor's office. She said a mother came in the room with her daughter La-a. Now most people wouldn't get what the name and the mother would get so upset because of how people would say her daughter's name. The name is pronounced: La dash A yes yes the dash it's just a symbol but the word in intself is used...what are people thinking?

I went to visit this elementary school once and I was looking at the list of Honor Roll Students in the hall. The two names that stood out were Sweet Georgia Grace and Travisia

nurse2009 said...

A friend of mine told me about a patient she had one day... her file said her name was: "I-a Smith". (Smith's not really the last name.) So my friend, having no idea how to pronouce the child's name starts saying: "Iaa", "Do we have an Iaa here," and then after no reply from anyone in the waiting room, says, "Do I have a Miss Smith here?" So then the child's mother, recognizing that her daughter was being called back, stands up and tells my friend (in a straight face...) that, "the dash (-) in her daughter's name ain't silent.. It's pronounced "Idasha". No lie.. my friend said she it took everything she had not to burst out laughing right there in the waiting room in front of the lady!

I-a -->Idasha (The dash ain't silent!)

I went 2 school w/ a girl who got pregnant and she and her drug dealer boyfriend to name their poor little boy...LeBlantous De'Smoquemought...pronounced (La-*Blunt*us-Day-Smoke-Um-Out).
I also went to school with a girl named. Detriochianna (Dee-Tree-O-She-Onna)
AND ANOTHER THING!!!! Adding the pre-fixes "tavious" or "travious"
onto your child's name does NOT make it cute or unique...ie: If your "Baby-Daddy" name is Mike, don't name your son MikeTavious, or if you have a crush on a guy who's (((((NICK-NAME))))) is Prent, don't name your baby, (by another dude entirely), Prentavious. (I know girls who did this to their sons.) My best friend, my cousin, and I made a pact back in highschool to never come up with such idiotic names when we had children. Now in our mid to late 20's as successful and well grounded black women, our son's names (in order of birth) are Donnie Graham III (7), Christian Isaiah (2), and Joshua Alexander (1mnth). Our names however are Desiree, Carvell, and Mesha(that's me!)...GO FIGURE!

My little brother graduated with twins named WyTovia and WyTasha.
Also the drummer at my church is named Vercinte (Ver-Sin-Tee)...And FYI: I think the Lemonjelo, & Orangelo twins, not to mention the resently added Redjelo and Greenjelo names, turning them n2 a set of quads, is an urban legend. It's hard enough to belive any1 would be dumb enough to name their children these horrid names, let alone the likelyhood of more than 1person doing it!!!

I don't really see a problem with the mother naming the child after herself (as long as it's not something like Shandaleeya the Second).

I can't believe some of what I've seen here. I did my best to forget most of the ghetto names I came into contact with, so all I can contribute right now is "Jerrick," a loser who did not understand the meaning of "NO."

I read that in some of the South American countries if the state doesn't approve of your name (they found parents were naming their kids after liquor and cars and stuff) they can actually force you to change it. Not that everyone should be the same, but I work on Wall Street in a recruiting office, and when a resume comes in from a Precious, a Princess a Corvoisier and they're applying for a paralegal or Executive Assistant position I know they won't get the job. When you name your kids you should think of three things: How does this sound when they're a child, how does it sound if they're the CEO of a company, and how will it sound when they're 90 years old? Think of how many Alize's and Shaqueetas are going to be in nursing homes when we grow up!

And the all time ghetto-est name (because it's stupid and people think they are being creative but they're not)

....Nevaeh. It's "heaven" spelled backwards.

Ja'Shinque (ja-sha-neek)
real name, no sike
my mom has a girl in her class named Ja'Shinque

Latiesha aka Tiesha said...

i have a pretty unique name. Especially in my predominatly white high school. Its Latiesha Nicole. Last year there was actually a girl there with my name but she spelt it Lateisha. I love my name, I think its beautiful. I have the most unique name out of my three sisters; their names are Brianne Samantha, Vanessa Michelle and Tiffany Chanice (first and middle names). The most "ghetto" (if you CAN call them that) names at my school are Farahna, Koron (dont know if thats spelt right) and my name. Pretty tame. But one poor nine year old in my town was named Tulah Does The Hula From Hawaii. No joke, it was in the paper. She was taken away from her parents because the judge didnt think they had enough sense to raise her if they gave her that ridiculous name, along other reasons of course. Judge made them change her name though. Cant say i blame him.

The number one most Ghetto Baby name would be La-a, Pronounced La-Dash-a

Anonymous said...

Wow, this gave me a good laugh! I have always wondered where some people come with these names for their kids. I knew a woman who taught that had a kid in her class whose name was "Mary Christmas" with about five more names besides. When my friend tried to shorten her name to "Mary" for the class room her mother got upset and insisted that everyone call her "Mary Christmas." The poor girl is probably going to teased for the rest of her life.

BITCH, DASHES ARE ALWAYS SILENT!!!

why the use of apostrophes, use accents, apostrophes arent accents

Anonymous said...

I THINK THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GHETTO AND UNIQUE. NOBODY WANTS A NAME EVERYBODY AND THEIR MOMMA'S GOT. NAMES LIKE INDIA, DESTINY, ETC. I THINK ARE UNIQUE NICE NAMES. GHETTO NAMES ARE THE ONES WITH LETTERS LONGER THAN THE DAMN ALPHABET, OR ENDING IN BON QUI QUI, AND HERE'S A CLUE, IF YOU HAVE TO PUT () BESIDE YOUR NAME TO SHOW EVERYBODY HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT, AND IT'S NOT FOREIGN, THAN IT'S GHETTO!
