I am pretty suspicious of this list's accuracy; since they're in alphabetical rather than order of popularity, it makes me wonder what kind of actual research went into it.
I also see Isis listed. Seeing as how Isis fell very quickly off the top 1000 lists after about 2011, I doubt it could rank as a popular name in 2018.
Lots of those names are or were very popular across the board; others like Diamond and Imani were definitely "black names" but seem to have hit their peak and fallen out of popularity ten or twenty years ago.

I do wish there was an accurate list of popular baby names according to race or ethnicity, but of course gathering and proving people's ethnic background info, and accounting for everybody with multiple ethnic backgrounds, would make that pretty near impossible.
