The Impact of Your Name

I work with white guys named Dwayne and Damon. And I have a white neighbor that is named Dalinda. Its not always black people with black sounding names... I went to high school with a guy named Stephon, but he was black...

 

ive never heard of a white guy named dwayne... i knew a white guy named DUANE. but he pronounced it DO-WAYNE.

 

Check out the google images. Lots of white Dwaynes.

mostly pics of black guys and The Rock.

 

I know a white woman named Lanika.

I know a young black girl named Raynesha, her father's name is Ray.

They don't get into last names, those can be just as much fun.

 

I'm naming my kid Skeeter like ole boy from Doug.

 

a lot of 'black' names are derided from eastern european names. for example, dushan is a very common name in serbia, and there are alot of 'deshawn' names floating around....stefan and stephon, etc

i hope i have two boys, because i am giving them the best names of all time: cash and carter. its either that or tupac and biggie, but i think cash and carter works better

 

what about

DEEZ NUTZ ON YO FOHEAD!

 

Dwayne is one of holiest of all white trash names. It actually combines THE 2 most influential WTN's - Dale and Wayne.

 

nothing will ever beat Anfernee.

 

I know a white girl named Keisha.

Although she acted black.

 

Yeah, but Wade is the only one I've seen where the 'y' is before the 'a'. And it's still pronounced the same?
Also, I have a friend who's cousin is a doctor. He once had a patient who's name was Vagina. And he was like... um, how are you today Vagina? And she got pissed and was like, 'my name is Vah-gee-nah'. LOL

 

i dunno if u guys notice this but did u know wade's first name is spelled:
D-W-Y-A-N-E

 

maybe you should tell that to your sig.

 

When I see the name Kyle, I think son of an Aggie.

When I see Ricky, Dale, or Bobby I think son of a NASCAR fan.

When I see Lance, Damon or Adrian, I think parents who already know their son will be gay.

Names you don't see anymore: Cain, Judas, Saul, Pontius, Adolf, Napoleon, Fidel, Attila and Benedict.

 

I know this thread is about first names, but at work I had the chance to call a doctor whose last name was Fear.

Dr. Fear is not the name of a person whom I want to get my yearly check ups from. I dont know maybe its just me.

 

Dr. Fear, feh... What about the gynecolegist, Dr. Morris Lestor?

 

I had a girlfriend from Atlanta named Kyle-beautiful reddish - black hair-Auburn
Her dad was named Kyle

I knew a girl from Utah named Kevin-cute blonde

I never had much luck with cute girls-My dad named me Renee' Mortimer

I wanted a girl named Delisha-ohh yeah - want me some of that delisha

 

That's a common girl's name in the UK.

 

This study was actually done by Steven Levitt, and is talked about in great detail in the book Freakonomics. Great book - easy reading and very interesting.
