wtf is a "white" name? There are Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, German etc etc etc. What is this whole "white" thing" where I come from we call names and people by the nation or culture that they come from or simply our nation.
***** I feel the reason why names like McKenzie aren't as funny (to me), is because there so average and plain (I heard them a million). I find names like Decarter and Depaula funny, because of my experiences with the people around my area; I could see some one in my area saying those names in very funny manner (I don't mean to sound offensive or anything, by finding these names funny).
***** I find all types of names funny; Hispanic, Asian, African, Caucasian, Indian, Purple People, Green People, etc. and yeah, I see you're point, I didn't mean it in a downgrading way. If i met another human being with an outlandish name, I would still let there character define them. Although, I probably would still laugh (but not in a disrespectful ridicule way, but in a silly and fun way). Names make all types of people unique, no matter how outlandish/funny they sound.
jamal is arabic tyrone is irish damion comes from a greek name daminos chantelle is french just because a lot of black people have these names dont mean that they are "black" names
Stereotypical Black Male Names: Jerome, André, DeAndré, Dwayne, Jamal, Tyrone, Jermaine, Jaeqwan Stereotypical Black Female Names: Shaniqua (I know 2), Shamika, Tamika, Latoya, Jasmine, Kendra, Ashanti Stereotypical White Male Names: John, Steve, Michael, Tom, Garry, Rich Stereotypical White Female Names: Sarah, Tiffany, Britney, Susan, Jane, Emma Stereotypical Stripper Names: Diamond, Sparkle, Divine, Kiki, Asia, Paris and other names of cities and continents. Of course, as I've stated above, these are just stereotypical names. Oh, and I don't mean to offend anyone but the majority of western names are kinda boring IMHO.
Nothing wrong with having a "boring" name. A name creates an image of a person long before meeting a person. There are times a name best suited for a pet or a precocious name does not serve a person well.
1:30 It's funny he mentions Chantelle (spelled like that) as being a black girl name, because I'm British and black and there are loads of white girls called Chantelle where I live.
I went to South Africa with a team, and they raised eyebrows at our team's names, and ours were pretty generic. It's a cultural thing. One sounds common and normal to you, but others think it sounds odd and have a hard time pronouncing it.
I know black people with both "black" names and "white" names. But only know white people with "white" names. White people aren't too creative with names, creativity for white people I noticed (when it comes to names) is giving girls more "boy-sounding" names. Example: Riley, Blake, Ryan, Avery, Dylan, Aidan, Hayden (you get it).
+CHEL The trouble with many of these "black" names is who generally is going to know how to spell them? I would not want to go through life constantly having to tell someone how to spell or say my name. Like Ian Ziering, pronouncing his name I-on when 99.9% of Ians say E-an. Also there are black people called Yvonne, which is pronounced E-von not Y-von.
People always remember Tyrone but thee name Tyrone is believed to derive from the Greek “Turannos” meaning “sovereign” or “king.” Additionally, Tryone is a location name in Ulster county in northern Ireland, which is believed to derive from the Irish Gaelic “Tir Eoghain”meaning “land of Eoghan” or “land of the noble.
Most names are names that are common to both sides people forget. John Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Fredrick Douglas, Mathew Henson, Jesse Owens, Hank Aaron, Sam Lacy, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., Joe Louis, Josephine Baker, William Haste, Harriet Tubman, Elijah McCoy, Fred Jones, Lloyd Hall, Charles Drew, Larry Doby, George Washington Carver. All famous Black men and women. With Names considered white by these people, It isn't white versus black names, it's Ratchet versus Respected. It's not just back in the day either. This is just a perpetuated stereotype.
+T.J. Thank you. I'm so glad someone pointed that out. Those multi-syllabic "black" names like Tangimeka, Lakwonda, Antwan and Daishaun are more indicative of socio-economic level of someone's parents rather than "blackness".
my name is Mercedes and before I got married, when I would go on dates guys would ask if I was just using my stage name. After being asked that one too many times I just went with and started telling people I was a stripper, most thought it was cool. But they never asked what my "real name" was. lol
Remember, before you give your daughter her name, do the Judge/Stripper Test. Which of these sounds more natural? "All rise for the honorable Judge __________________" or "Alright gentlemen, please welcome the next dancer to the stage: _____________________"
Generally speaking, (this is excluding Texas) white parents usually try to give their kids traditional names, actually I can say the same thing for hispanic parents, but often black parents often make up the names, meaning they want to give their children unique names that aren't overly used, because how many people do you know that are named John or Ryan.
I'm white, but I'm glad my mom gave me a unique name! Besides Corbin Bleu, how often do you meet people with the name "Corbin"? And I'm glad my grandmother named my mom "Keila"! LOL Better than Kyle or Brittany!
Allie S That may be, but in modern era those names are considered black names now. Just like last names Washington, Johnson, Jefferson are European, but are now known to be predominate black surnames. I'm black and my last name is Newton, an old English name. Based off of history, we know why black people have european last names. They're our identity now ::shrug::
My ancestors were abolitionists. They were against slavery. And all those names are still being used by White people, they're just not being used by White people here in America, as much as, they're used in Britain. And come on! It's not like Black people were the only ones in history to be slaves.
Sorry but slavery for blacks was not worse than it was for whites in Europe. There was some Africans in Europe at that time, but the whites far out populated the Blacks. So more slaves were white, and a master could do anything he wanted with his slaves, even kill them. Many white slaves were sacrificed to gods to make amends for their master's faults. and on a side note none of my abolitionist ancestors owned slaves, however, if they knew that their sacrifice, aka, getting caught by the authorities for harboring slaves, would eventually make those slaves' descendants blame the whites for everything, perhaps they would have changed their minds.
Back in the 1970's, there was a mini series on tv called "Roots" and after it ran, there were mothers naming their black babies after characters from the show. Roots gave black people an opportunity to connect with their roots, hence the creative and exotic names given to black babies since that time. And white people are generally of European descent, so culturally, they still connect with names associated with their roots, although there are deviations from that, with white mothers wanting to give their white babies distinctive names or spellings, such as Destiny, Mystery, Jewel, Jhane, Sioux, Konnor, to name a few. Name your kids whatever, just not a name that might embarrass them. I know a guy in his 60s whose first name is Thomas and his last name is Thomas. Thomas Thomas. It's memorable, right?
I think this video is fascinating. In the city of Pittsburgh and probably other industrial cities with lots of immigrants during the industrial revolution, you'll meet a lot of older people where their more unique ethnic names were changed by teachers in schools or ministers in church. Speaking from only the Slavic background that I know, their birth names like mihal, Jozef, juraj, hanichka, Agnieszka, etc were changed by teachers to be more American, which passed down from their memories to their children. Their goal was to be more American. It's sad since in my city you see a complete die out of ethnic heritage, which of course was spawned by social politics and the collapse of the industrial revolution.
"white" names that are on the come up because people are getting away from traditional names like Hunter, Chase, and Fynn. Or names having a regular first and last name and the middle name being something like "Danger" or "Trouble". I know people do that for nicknames but I've been seeing it as birth names in the last 10yrs.
Two black dudes who work at my warehouse have the names "John" and "Matthew" I am so used to hearing names like "Demario" "Olajuwon" "Shiron" I was utterly dumbfounded by how white their names were.
Sorry lady at 1:23, Joaquin as you said is a white name from Spain, unless the kid is African American, as well as Hispanic (from America). Joaquín, pronounced Hwakin.
Really? Alexis?! Umm... Idek. If you want to be stereotypical, yes white names are usually very common and mainstream, and then black names are usually more... Tyrone, Jamal, Shaniqua idk. But both have common and uncommon names really. Stripper names are different, but probably Chastity or Kandy like said in the video xD
I think this channel would shoot off if Yafaet would have a lot more input Kinda like Kassem G You're interviewing but funny at the same time Relying on these random guests' answers make these interviews seem less consistent Some vids are great, others are boring/weird/average
This was quite funny en interesting. Lol it reminds me of a scene from the movie A Bronx Tale (great movie by the way!) There's this scene when Calogero (white guy) sees a attractive black girl in front of his school and he thinks she must have an exotic name like Monique or Danielle. Later he approaches this girl and the conversation goes like this: C: Are you waiting for someone? J: Yes, i'm waiting on my brother. C: What's your name? J: Jane C:Jane? That's it? J: Yes, what's wrong with Jane?! C: Nothing, I love that name, it's a beautiful name!
The girl in red was so darn hot, like steaming hot, anyways,.... Some Black names are of Islamic/Arabic culture like Jamal meaning Beauty, abdulkarim abduljabar(Servant of the generous, servant of the powerful) Godly servitude that is.
Right! Because anything white is so awful but anything ethnic, i.e., non-white, is great, just the best. Yet none of those white people on the video would EVER name their kids Jamal, deShawn, Masai, Shaniquah, etc.
Fatima is Arabic. i'll list down few authentic african/black names. Amare ,Kwame ,Feechi, Ekon , Zane ,Isabis ,Jafari Daliah Haji Sabra Kalifa Imani Asha Ode Lulu Uma Maha Bahati
Well my name is maegan so I guess its considered a white name. But I think stripper names are: sweet buns, sugar, long legs, candy cane, bubbles, gumdrop, daisy, Candace, ebony, Princess Btw:love all your shows keep it up
I, even though I'm black, prefer the white names. When I grow up, I wanna name my daughter Mary-Grace, my son Trevor or James or Henry or Tyler.And to answer your question: Black: Jade (pronounced Jah-day), Shaniqua, LaKisha, Jah'Quay, TyShawn, J'Markus, Jahquan, Jamal, Jaheem, Kareem, Kamaria, Kareema, Tatiana, Keshondria, Talija (Tuh Lie Juh), and the least known, TayshawndriaWhite (these are my favorite): Hannah, Conner, Alexander, Xander, Rex, Ally (short for Alison) Samantha, Mia, McKenna, Christina, Isabella, Gabriella, Trenton, Kaylee, Kylie, Olivia, Ethan, Zachary, Travis, Kade, Marie, and LindsayBoth: Kayla, Brianna, Tiffany, Taylor, and Brittany.Stripper names: Crystal, Diamond, Bunny, Cinnamon, and Candy
Americans are quite ignorance of thinking the black names are blacks names when in fact name such as "marcus, markus" are German names, Damian is irish, Jamal is Arabic, "Lemarcus"? "le" is french word for "the", marcus,markus as i said are Germans. so you add le + marcus , technically there's french and german in it. marcus/markus means "of mars" taken from the roman fertility god which how "March" came about? I don't know what you people are trying to say here. Here are a few examples of authentic african names that blacks should use for their children. Amare Kwame Feechi Ekon Zane Isabis Jafari Daliah Haji Sabra Kalifa Imani Asha Lulu Uma Maha Bahati.
stereotypical, of course! There's a British soap character called Tyrone who is white and there are several white Chantelles. One of whom was on Big Brother a good few years ago! Showing my age now!
A black girl i knew from high school her older sister name was Monique and hers is Monica and her little sister name moqicha 'think that's the spelling idk' and last girl was something Similar to their names only the last one which was a boy had a normal name can't remember it tho lol
These are just like names people have in the US. Outside of the US white and black people have a lot of different more ethnic names. Like in Germany we have Hans, Lenz, Johannes, Katja, Heike, etc... not so much John, Mary, Luke etc.
Stripper names... luxury car brands, fruits you would eat off/out of someone, ironic virtue names like Chastity or Destiny, anything that sounds like knock-off perfume.
