Even when I hear a name like Shaniqua or Lakeisha, I hardly take notice. Names like that have been used for quite some time, now.

So have names like Kayla, and Alyssa! =)
People just don't notice ... and I don't mean you, I never really thought about it before either but I think there is a certain stereotypically white style of creativity, too.

Oh, there is. I work in a high school, and I come across plenty of names that would fit a stereotype for any race. And when you get down to it, they're all "normal."
