Help[Opinions] Re: African American Names
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I would have liked it if they included more research on how they compiled the information too.
It would be interesting to see how naming trends vary with different ethnic backgrounds, but I would be wary if the government started sorting information based on ethnicity, and people would probably start lying because they wouldn't see the need to supply the government with even more infomation.
Imani does seem like a fairly common name among African Americans, and it is included as such on BtN. Diamond kind of surprised me because it doesn't strike me as African American; I do associate it with socio-economics though.
