I agree with manni on this one. Although most of my family in lower class, DP and I are considered "upper middle class". I would never had given Julia a "Black sounding" name even if she were not Chinese. Although I LOVE being Black and we're very proud of our roots I do not feel comfortable giving my child a "getto" name because when most people look at job resumes or other important documents they are going to see your name first. As sad as it is, a person named "Holly" is going to get a job faster than a person name "Lakeisha".
