We're not all named "Tyrone" or (fill in stereotypical name here). Kee-rist.

Answer 2

Please learn to spell and get an education before bringing kids into the world. I am sorry but you can't spell basic words.

This is how you should have asked the question. Notice how I've used proper grammar etc. I realise this is Yahoo Answers but there is a check spelling button there for a reason.

I want to know some names for black kids? (don't take offensively!)
My boyfriend and I were talking about random things one night and kids names came up. He's black and I'm white so obviously I'm not going to know how to name black kids. I was listing names and he was like..."do you realise that our kids will be half white and half black?" This is why I really need help on finding some good names for boys and girls.

Note: I live in Australia so some of the spelling is different such as realise is realize with a z in the USA and colour is color in the USA.

Good luck!
By the way, how about Martika for a girl and Michael or Kassim for a boy? I personally don't think it matters if the child is white, black or a mixture of different races. A name is a name. I personally love the names Olivia for a girl and Michael for a boy. Choose a name that you both love. Don't be restricted with naming your child something that sounds "black" as you have said in you terribly written question. Remember..get an education! Spelling simple words is something children learn in the early years of school (grade 1, 2 and 3 etc). It's not too late to learn.

Answer 3

Are you serious?????

Is your name Amy...or Laurie??

Well, I must also echo the sentiments of some other responders here. PLEASE do not name children based upon the need for a "black" or "white' name. Parents choose a name for many reasons: they like a name; after a family member or loved one; or based on what the baby looks like as they arrive into this world.

However, you say (and I quote) "obviously im not going 2 no how 2 name black kids." This is exactly the type of ignorance that completely infuriates me. Why would you even ask this - and furthermore, perpetuate the stereotypes of (as you say) "black kids names" and, of course, the "white girl."

Grow up, and expand your mind. I hope you KNOW that raising children - black, brown, white, yellow, red - is the most important job you will ever have. Please DO NOT take it lightly.

See you on Maury...

Answer 4

The most important thing is to not name your kid anything that would make him or her an object of discrimination. This usually happens when someone's name is, ethnically, extreme. I am serious and I am not a racist. This type of stuff really happens. So, your question was that you want to know some names for "black kids". How about Jennifer, Karen Christopher, Jake, or Billy? Oh, you mean "black kids", like Shenika, Tamika, Jerome or Tyrone?

Hmmm...... maybe a baby name book would help best.

Answer 5

Name your child whatever name you feel, there is no such thing as a black or white names, and when your baby is born the name you have picked out might not fit what your child looks like, Just go wit whatever comes to your head ask some friends or maybe your boyfriends family if they have any ideas

Answer 6

Tyrone, Lee, Jay, Jamaal, Brianna, Nicole

Answer 7

girls: Joan, Benonce, Madinah, Mia, Moesha, Kim, Mya
boys: Brian, Derrick, Damion, Devon, Quincy, Cody, Brandon

Answer 8

Give them "normal" names: such as: Nancy, Sharon, Marsha, Catherine, Michele, Alice, Michael, Joseph, Calvin, Henry, etc.

Answer 9

Answer 10

here are some black names: Leona, Shaniqua, Denzel,Shawn, Saad, Sabrina, Saada, Daquan, Jarett, Jamie, Kai, Jaafar, Omar, Zoya, Zabrina. (These are boys and girls names) Good luck!!!
