I love the names you listed. You might want to take note of the kinds of names that African-American children in your neighborhood/social circles/area have. Do they tend toward Afro-Centric names or traditional American names?
My daughter's name is not African, but it is pretty recognizeable as African-American.
My issue right now is that all of her African-American friends with highly textured hair have relaxed hair, and I really don't want to use chemicals on her hair. She's only 5! So there is this fine line with her fitting in culturally with other children of her race and reflecting your family's style and desires. I think it will be a long term dance around that line......
