An African Name?
We are in the process of adopting an AA baby, a newborn. We may or may not get to name her but if we do, I have been thinking of choosing an African name rather than a "white" name.
I don't want to saddle her with a name nobody can spell or understand though, but I want a meaningful name for her that tells her I am proud of her race.
Any thoughts?
Did anyone else choose an ethnic name? glad? regrets?
Oh, and some front runners are: Imani (faith), Zuri (beautiful), and Kendi (loved one)
