@americanpowerbase..lol yeah that would be rather messed up lol ..@ tmot i didnt mean any disrespect i wasnt trying to change the conversation..im in this 18 wheeler all day and things like that just pop in my mind..i know a little girl named "allegra" just like the medication lol
But if someone actually names their own flesh & blood after a designer brand of clothing (Chanel, Tommy,etc), or the brand of alcohol they were drunk on when they conceived (Alize, Bud, Natty, Earl --- ok, just playin' on that one, lol, etc) or any mass-produced product name is only helping to cheapen the value of human life, PERIOD!
The problem is that the computer voice is programmed to only be able to correctly pronounce English words & names, that's all! As in the laguage of the British but w/out the accent = "Americanized". Any other "foreign"-sounding names are butchered beyond recognition: French (plenty of that in the Black community), Spanish (yeah), German, Irish (how many Black folks do you know w/ a last name like McAlister or something similar?), Swahili or Zulu (nowhere near enough of those), etc.
I always like Shanequa as a typical "ghetto"female name. I know a young lady with that name who asks her mother all the time why did she do that to her. Shanequa is a very intelligent young lady who recently graduated from a prestigious private college and is studying at Oxford now. But she knows her resume will get tossed once she is ready to get into the job market.
the system cant pronounce them all right!! chaniqua, etc. WERE NOT AROUND UNTIL THE 1970s!! names like Freeman, etc. are also remisiscent of FREEDOM ghetto names are NOT!! although too many of us have Washington as a surname unlike many whites, i think it's because he was the 'Father of our Country' I suppose and many freed slaves took his name AFTER SLAVERY--and Obama going to Ireland is looking for missing Mammy ancestors?--(mammy is IRISH for mommy)
tmot i got a question for you, and it may make a good video for you to do...what if we woke up tomorrow morning and all the white people were gone, what do you think the result would be? i would love to see the comments on that one..keep up the good work bro
We'd be destroyed by the likes of other Blacks who already kill their own, except it would be unimpeded as it is in countries like The Congo. We'd be mocked by Negroes who ride the jocks of other Blacks for fame. By Negroes who make 3 hours videos that no one watches. By Negroes on government assistance who make videos all day and have no job. By Negroes who would leave America in search of other races to emulate. By negrores who'd fail as did Egypt for thinking they are Gods.
Unique names are apart of your African ancestory and even slave heritage. Slaves first freedom and choice was to name their children whatever they desired. There was slave descendant children named pepsi. Some was even named phrases such as hard times to indicate the period in which they were born. Brown, Freeman, Freeland are made up names by blacks which symbolized they new status. Its nothing wrong with it actually.
@tmotofga I've heard many names that can barely be pronounced from Eastern Europe the system ight fail on those but then again remember white person probably made this and attuned to Euro names or ones they consider legit culture and ones that deserve recognition. Every name is made up when we were bron on this earth I'm sure there wasn't a sheet of legit names and acceptable names. Then againmany of us follow others acceptable and permitted standards.
I am quite sure if the designers were in China or Paraguay, the system would be attuned to their native names as well. You seem to want to excuse and justify these autrocious names that were nothing more than a Negro trend borne out of the late 70's. It is what it is. Naming your kids after a damned bottle of booze or a weapon is plain old foolish.
@tmotofga No excuses but every origin in this world I intend to learn about it if it interest me. It seems we criticize many things without even knowing its origins. Anthony is an insult to Africans considering its originally adone but came to America during the slave trade crossed over to anthony. As much as us blacks say becky is whites it really african pronounced beckay but spelled becke. My thing look peoples name shouldn't have that much of an impact on lives and we don't need anymore
@tmotofga gaps bridged between people. Hell with all the atrocities commited by Europeans we never associate there names with the tyranny but anything remotely ghetto or seems too black its made up and its a terrible people. This was our first given right. People like uniqwue and nice names period. Its common sometimes we associate certain names with referencesand meanings. Guess my name being Rico and my middle being Lemarcus is a lil too jazzy. Might affect my intellect.
The really amusing thing is , when the first child is name "Taquicha " and the second is "Kishondre " the third child always gets a name like helen. What happened ? Did they run out of gas on the third name ?
Good point . My sister in law came up with the most ridiculous spelling of a really normal name for her daughter . Why ? because , she didn't feel SPECIAL when she was young ,so she was determined to make her PRINCESS ,,, SPECIAL . This whole princess thing really sets women up for failure . Never satisfied , never good enough , they always think they deserve more . Mom's quit trying to live through your daughters and teach them to be smart and independent . Fathers , your just as bad .
LOLLL haha too much. there is a girl at my job named quandalisha

The system can pronounce Freeman and Freeland, even Running Bear. On the other hand, chaniqua? Give me a break.
