Re: Mylee, Kodie, Skylar and Ebony.
I live in the US and the only Ebony I've ever met is African-American. I had the impression it has sort of a pride and celebration of her heritage tone about it. I believe there is also a magazine called Ebony that is geared toward African-Americans, which may perpetuate this association for many people. If I hadn't known the girl with that name, I may not think anything of a person of a different color being given this name.

yes...There is a magazine, geared toward upwardly mobile blacks, called Ebony. It's been around quite a while. Also one geared toward black women called Essence, a name I have also seen only on blacks.
