HelpRe: Leona
in reply to a message by Davidica
I think maybe what Pie was meaning is that the name is more popular with black people than white people, perhaps because Leona Lewis herself is black and may be seen as a role model for black people? Personally, I don't know anyone with the name so can't comment whether that's true but it makes sense to me. I don't think any offence was meant at all, I got the impression it was just an observation.
Sorry to jump in here and Pie feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
ETA - Obviously I'm only referring to the recent upsurge in popularity of the name since Leona Lewis has become famous.

Argh, that's exactly what I meant. Leona Lewis is seen as an inspirational black icon. And as Leona is so very rare *in the UK*, pretty much all the new Leonas *in the UK* are going to be named after her - and a lot of them will probably be black, because she's an inspirational black icon. I hope that's clear!

Gotcha
I hope you know I wasn't trying or even wanting to step on your toes, Pie, and I apologize for making it seem that way. I was unaware of what you trying to say but I understand now. I am truly sorry for the unnecessary scrutiny :)
