    lmao...she chose Genesis, Delilah (sp), and Jordan...she told me Jordan was for boy or girl

    i only like Genesis of the choices lol

    Delilah is nice and it is not too common. That is the correct spelling.
    The only thing behind that name is it's association to Samson. Depends how you look at it.

    I don't care to imagine what that would be like.

    That would be their problem, not hers.
    Hope she doesn't let it get to her.
    I had the same issue.
    I used to strongly dislike my name as a child but over time I grew to love it and genuinely do. I am glad I wasn't named something typical and common.

    Nah, she loves her name. And I guess how I was raised and then I had her when I was 29 so I did'nt want some silly name for my kid and I have a black baby so she has a black baby name, dig that. I'm glad I have my name too, but what's funny is that when people here it on the phone here at work they ask if I'm black or where did my parents get that name from, and the killer, "I've never heard the name Hassan before" smh

    I shortened my name when I was a kid for that very reason...there were people that knew from the time I was a child that didn't know my actual full name until I was out of high school and it was printed on my diploma

    Lol.
    I know how that goes. White folks ? me the absolute worst when it comes to my name or my child's.

    As long as she is not ashamed of the origins of her name. I know how these younger generations can be with their roots and heritage and I have personally witnessed it time and time again. *sigh*

    Awwww.
    I know the hassle it can be, especially for a young child. Not only to have to learn saying it but spelling it as well and writing it out several times everyday in school. So, I do understand but even still, in school a first, middle and last name is enough. On documents and official papers, all names should and have to be present.

    Nah these black folks I'm talking about, especially the older ones. White people never question it and they say it right for the most part, but black people dayum, I get the third degree. My co-worker is muslim too and when they come to the desk and see her wrapped up, they ask her is she cold. I swear old black people are just as bad smh lol

    yeah...it wasn't even that i hated my name I just hated having to explain to people 1. why i have 5 names and 2. why they're spanish...i love my names now...even had them all said when I graduated college lol but when I was younger it was just too much of a hassle

    lol naw I ain't get it that bad though one of my friends that's Puerto Rican/Honduran has an older brother named Jesus like Jesus Shuttlesworth lol...If you see somebody my complexion the last thing you expect to hear as part of their name is "Emilio" which is just one of my 3 middle names...and my first name has an accent mark in it when it's spelled correctly

    Sorry to hear that bro, but funny thing is. A few years ago this journalist was writing about us kids born in the 70's with those names and how we did'nt live up to meaning of our names. Like Sundiata got killed selling drugs on 79th street, or Malika works as a stripper or Omar is doing time for a double murder

    good look...he was a good dude that got caught up over a female lying... but it's always funny to meet people who have names with actual meaning and have no clue or just live the complete opposite lifestyle of what their name implies

    Lmao.
    Some older black folks ? me, lmao. Reminds me of grandparents and aunties, mad old school and stuck in their ways. While roots and culture is of great importance to me, I still am aware of the times and the society we live in. Many older heads don't acknowledge anything outside of what they "knew."

    I have had to correct people my entire life so I know what a hassle it was.
    You love, appreciate and understand it now, that is what's important.
