Help[Opinions] Under-representation of African names
Dear Behind the Name,
Your sites have been very inspiring and useful to me because, as a writer, I often need character names, and this is a great place to start.
However, I have tried time again to find African names, but your site seems to be lacking in them. Now, I know you have them, but what I am protesting is how you lump them into broad categories as if Africa is a country, and not a continent like it is. E.g., Nigeria, Senegal, Burkina Faso, etc. is grouped under "West Africa", while Ethiopia, Djibouti, Rwanda is categorized as "East Africa".
I would appreciate it very much if you could be more specific about Africa's countries, and treat Africa, and its culture and names, as the unique and important topics they are.
Thank you.
