If you thought DeShaun and DaShaun were bad, I raise you RaShaun and ReShaun. An utterly awful name, do not give this to your child under any circumstances.

The spelling or name in general may seem "ghetto" to you, but must I educate you. The name prefix "Ra" is common in many French and Greek names. "Shawn" or "Sean" is actually Irish. Nothing should seem "ghetto" to you. The name is European. You find it ghetto because little black boys wear this name. Maybe educate yourself. Most black names are not "ghetto". Most common black names are handsome/pretty. Most of them are of European (especially French) and/or African descent. Stop belittling people, their cultures, and their names.
Dang! A lot of negative comments with African American names! Why are so many people against names they call “ghetto”? Sure they wouldn’t use it on white kids but when you refer African American names to “ghetto” as an offensive term, it’s kinda racist. Think before you roast! Black people are very clever to roast you back!

The name Rashawn was given to 83 boys born in the US in 2015.
The silly little prefix ruins the name, and with this spelling, the only logical pronunciation is ''ru-SHAWN''. It sounds very ghetto indeed, and as wrong as it may be, this name will lead to discrimination.
