No. Black couples often use made up "unique" names for their children. It is a part of black culture in the country.

Some names are uniquely African-American

In Tangerae Michelle Dean's wallet are the images she treasures the most.

There's 6-year-old Takara Niemah Starkese, her eldest. "She's a sweetheart," the St. Petersburg mother says.

And there are photos of Takayla Niree-Shaneke, 4, and Travontez De- juan, 2.

These children, she says, are far too pretty, far too beautiful for ordinary names.

"When a child is pretty like my kids . . . you've got to give them pretty names. I didn't want any common name. I love beautiful names."

A growing number of today's young black parents share Ms. Dean's sentiments. These moms and dads are giving their offspring original names that reflect the parents' ideas of uniqueness and beauty.

Some experts think the practice is a statement of cultural identity and pride. Parents say newfangled names help fuse a new generation to its roots.

Mothers like Ms. Dean, 22, say relatives and friends helped come up with the unusual names, many of which are creatively amalgamated from those of family members.

Today's name creation among a younger generation of black people appears to be an evolution from authentic African and Muslim names that were bestowed on many children during the civil rights movement.

"More emphasis on Afrocentrism makes for more creativity or even the making up of names," says Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and co-author of Raising Black Children.

"There is more and more comfort in moving away from standard names like Mary and Jane. . . . Parents think they sound more beautiful, and they add uniqueness to the child."

They don't. It's just gives them another opportunity to bash black folks (and show their racism).

And if you really want to talk about black culture, there are a ton of threads about violent crime on this site.

 As someone who has gotten thousands of accident reports in Nawlins for insurance companies, I had to verify them. Which meant I had to read a lot. I came across many names that made me laugh. My favorite was NosmoKing. I thought this. Nurse: We need a name for him?  Mom looks around and sees a sign,”No Smoking”
