American football player name ...
A player, male of course, named ...
Kapri Bibbs.Not only does it sound like a girl's name, it also sounds like capri-length bib overalls.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Football players have some of the most interesting names.
I'm surprised nobody has jumped on you for criticizing an African-American's name.
I'd prefer Kapri on a black man over Kashton on a white one, fwiw.
I'd find the name annoying as a girl's name, but on Mr Bibbs it's just interesting.
Bibbs doesn't sound great with any first name, IMO.

Kapri is pretty run of the mill to me. I grew up with a large black population and wouldn't have blinked at Kapri.The interesting thing about the black population is that they use names that could be considered feminine more often on boys. I like it.

Reminds me of a city in Italy, though it is spelled Capri. very unfortunate of a name.

Hi RoxStar !!!Kapri doesn't ring as feminine imo..neither masculine. I guess that it is a form of Capri (Capri Island) Is it used as given name abroad? Omg... Here Capri could be only a last name. After that I always think on Capri pants! Kapri is even worse. No thanks ahahahah

It's not really an established given name here in the US, but it is occasionally given, but always (to my knowledge) to girls.

And as I said to Mirfak blacks have a tendency to use more feminine sounding names for boys.
