Question

What is good african american boy name to do with the name coree? other than Decorian

Answer 1

Dude, just leave it as Corey and don't get all ghettofied with it. Jeez. Why do we always have to change it up to something no one can pronounce and the baby won't even be able to spell. Keep it simple.

Answer 2

Redirected from African-American Names

Black or African-American names are used by people of African ancestry living in the United States.

Given names used by blacks are often invented or creatively-spelled variants of more traditional names. Some names are created using fashionable syllables, for example the prefixes La- or De- and the suffixes -ique or -isha. Also, punctuation marks like apostrophes and dashes are sometimes used (though infrequently).


DeAndre, DeJuan, DeShawn, JuMichael (rare), Keyshawn, Latonya, LaShonda, Lashawn, T’Keyah (rare) and YaSheema (rare) use prefixes in combination with another name. There are unlimited possibilities for creating new names. Sometimes the letter after the prefix is capitalized.
Ebony, Precious, Unique are examples of vocabulary names commonly used by black Americans.
Imani and Malik are examples of African/Muslim names used by black Americans.
Andre, Darius, Darryl, Maurice, and Tyrone are examples of names that, though used by non-black Americans, are more commonly used by black Americans.
Kimothy and Natthew (both rare) are rhyming variants of other names (Timothy and Matthew)

I think you should name your baby whatever you and your significant other like. Ultimately the child is going to have to live with this name so you need to think long term. I did this with my children, close your eyes and picture the child in 20 years and then say the name again. If it is a name that sounds ridiculous for a grown man than don't do it. Remember, that child will more likely than not, have to get a job one day and although you like to believe that their merits alone will get them the job, the truth of the matter is that people do look at the name many times.
