Jamaican Names?

I'm looking for a reliable source from which I can take Jamaican names.

I'm trying to name a male character in one of my novels, and I haven't been able to find anything on Jamaican names. I figured I'd turn here, because surely *someone* will be able to help!

So, Jamaican names?

Thanks.

I've worked with quite a few Jamaicans. Most of them have had standard English names, but some of the others I've come across have been:
Leroy
Lloyd
Stanford
Glenford
Linford
Grenville.

Jamaican groups on Facebook might also help.
