I don't see Tyrone as a "black" name at all. Maybe because there are very few black people were I live and the few that are around don't have the same African-American culture (where names like Tyrone and Shaniqua are apparently commonplace) that American blacks do. I actually see Tyrone as a super-white, troublesome street-kid kinda name. Probably from the character on Coronation Street - the only Tyrone I know!
