Whatever name you choose, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider you childs future and the ability or inbility to become gainfully employed based on the "perceived" ethnicity of a name. Don't choose a name like Moesha, Porsche, Keisha, Jordan, Dante', Marcus, DeAndre. Choose an "ethnic-free" name like Taylor or Raine or Aeriel, Conner, Cameron, Carter, Tyler or something like that so that your child can have a chance at being successful in life.

Well first u want to make sure that its not to uncommon or unique because it makes them more vulnerable to be made fun off. try these african names because i came from zimbabwe which is on of the african 2 the south. My name is Tanyaradwa which means 2 comfort. But people call me tanya which can be ur baby girls names. For a boy african name u should try Tinashe it means that ur are with the lord. Or other like Nayasa or Manyara girl names. and Mufaro for boys. I hope u and ur baby well have a life full of happiness.

I really like the name Ashauri instead of Ashanti. Ashauri Shante', Shakyra, Taniyah, Aniya, and for a boy Armund, Ausanti, Kyran, Kyris, and Idrese or Edrese. Hope I helped a little. These are just names I really like. Congrats on your pregnancy and Good Luck!

I found that if you use Oprah's baby namer you can look up names by ethnic background, then further search by meaning! Barnes and Nobles also carries lots good babynaming books, one specifically with African/ African American names.
I think it is always good to decide the meaning you want to bestow on your child then search that way.

I think you should look into giving your child a beautiful African name. My name is Zakiya (zah-KEE-yah) which means intelligent in Swahili. I think if you give your child a name with meaning instead of making up a nonsensical "African American" name it will give him/her a sense of pride. I love my name. It may be difficult for some people to pronounce but it is meaningful to me. And I always get compliments on it.
Go to this website http://www.namesite.com
it has an abundance of meaningful African names. They give the pronunciation, the origin, and the meaning.
Here's my name: http://www.namesite.com/name.php?id=jina&gender=F&jina=Zakiya
