okay now I'm just getting tired of this. Everyday in school I hear so many "urban names". First off, they are not "urban" at all. THEY'RE GHETTO!!

All of these people I know. I have not made any names up.Some are the sweetest people in the world but when they get older, they probably won't get a good job. Not only will the racist employers know that they're black, but the equal-opportunity employers won't know how to pronounce their name for an interview so they will probably call in Susan or Johnathan instead. Why do mothers insist on naming their children names that sound ludicrous? I know some names have a meaning but seriously, what LaFreakia mean? (please don't answer that question) Comment and tell me some names of kids you know. (No made up names please) and can someone please tell me what happened to the Lisa's and Mark's? Where did the Nicole's go? Can someone please find me an Anthony or an Andrew? Is having a traditional name so....bad?
