[Renee30155]

I've had the same question. My coworker,who is Caucasian, and I have discussed this very issue. I've been told that it is because slave names were stripped and given one or two syllable names and this is an attempt to regain a sense of control over self. Well, I don't believe that because it seems that a lot of these names come from a generation of folks that couldn't provide one complete sentence of African American history.
