[Leslie22898]

All African-American children don't have unusual names, although many do. Many black people give their children distinct names to emphasize and honor their African heritage. Others do it because it has become the 'fad' or customary among their peers. There is also a class issue at play here. Many middle-class and upper-class black parents may name a daughter 'Ayanna' or 'Nia,' where lower-income blacks may tend to name a daughter 'DeShontay', etc. Keep in mind that many black parents choose typical, mainstream names: the Courtneys, Kellys, Gillians, etc. There's much variation when it comes to name-choice.
