Why shouldn't people be able to make up names that are creative and unique? What do you want? All Blacks have to retain their slave names, like "Jones", "Jefferson", "Washington", etc? Does it dirty up your delicate sense of whiteness when you see names like DeShawn, Leronda, etc.?

Do you feel like the barbarians are at the gate when you hear those sorts of names?

The ironic thing is you probably consider yourself a champion of free choice and freedom of expression.
