Lamar

My middle name is Lamar, and I am kind of impressed that my middle name is more popular and has been since the 19th century and 20th century also in other states like England and Wales too just like in my country in the United States.

It's very cute.

For me, Lamar conjures up images of a wise, soft-spoken black man who doesn’t talk a lot, but when he does everyone listens because it’s meaningful. Obviously not everyone named Lamar is going to be that person but it’s what my brain defaults to when I think of it. I think that’s a great association, I like this name a lot.

You’re absolutely right. This name gives off mature vibes indeed. Sure, it’s used often, but it’s used often because of how macho it sounds.

I love this name. Any little bit I might one day have will be called Lamar because it is a really gentle sounding boys name.

This is a highly stereotypical name. Lamar is mainly a black person's name. I would not call a white boy Lamar.

The suffix "mar" comes from Roman descent (Marcus). The "La" is of French origin. You will see racists call this name ugly, tacky, or ghetto but it is only because this name became a trend in the black community. But in full reality this name, like most names (whether or not they were created by black people) has no race. White people have this name because it has 100% European roots. Nothing is ghetto about most of the names that many black people wear.

It reminds me of a lemur.

Not my favorite name, but it's not a bad one. I can picture it on men of all ages, though it's a little boring and doesn't sound particularly original.

My middle name is Lamar I don't think it sounds that bad to have, it's a good name.

Guilty like this name but would never use it for an actual child. "Lamar" 100% sounds like a black name. And a highly stereotypical one at that.
