    Stop and think for a minute: most feminine names, in most cultures (East Asian being the first exception that comes to mind), end in the ‘a’ sound. It’s not just limited to African Americans. This could well owe to a proto-language spoken by the first humans. I find it curious that this is the most distinctive thing one would notice about African-American women’s names; most people are far more fascinated by the euphonic combination of syllables and the creative spellings of conventional names. Diversity is a good thing!
