(+) Yeah! (+)

all this Trayvon business has made me remember that black people have the best names.

do any of you have awesome names? I know Palmer is named "Catravion" which is literally his real name and not one of his accounts, and it is awesome.

Ok everyone this is Bartz so just remember.

I'm Jeremy, so that's pretty generic.

I also probably won't get any funny looks in the application process when they don't read D'Angelo TayShawn, so there's that white people advantage taken care of!

You know who's sexy? Black Turtle, the 2010 Games Contest Guru Winner, that's who!

Sasquatch.

Oh yeah, and I went to high school with a Doodoo Brown. I didn't know him, but I once asked someone else if that was just a nickname. Nope. His last name was Brown. His mama named him Doodoo. Why would anyone do this? I will never know.

So your brother got a girl's name and your sister a guy's name? Assuming I'm pronouncing those correctly...

He could go by "Dood" and it would be legit, that's awesome.

Monche I'll give you, since I was saying it as 1 syllable... But the second just seems way too close to "Keenan".

Quintavius actually sounds pretty cool. I don't know who in their right minds would actually name their children any of these names though.

There's also a pretty interesting chapter in Freakonomics about what a person's name tells you about the expected education level of their parents.
