[Ramonna30224]

I can’t speak for all African Americans. People usually name their children something that has meaning for them and their family (and they also might think of the child that will have to bear the name). If I came upon a white person with a name I normally associate with African Americans I might be curious. Whether a name is ‘appropriate’ depends on the situation. Did you know and respect someone named Malik and chose to honor that person by naming a son (or daughter?) after them? What’s not appropriate about that? Do you just like the sound of a name? I think that’s legitimate too? The child might just get some questions about the name. This could be a good or bad thing, again, depends on the circumstances. It could be embarassing or be a conversation starter, especially if there is a good story about the name.
