When we were planning names for our first adoption, we told people we liked Tyler. DH sister suggested we consider Ty'Reese or something along those lines. I said that we prefered to find a name that was racial "ambiguous"...not because we weren't proud that we would have a black child, but because as an AA man, people could decide subconsciously not to give him a chance even before they met him. Resumes, college applications....any number of ways. I love the sound of many more "ethic" sounding names, but I feel like I want to give any of my children as much as a leg up as I can. I wouldn't give a CC child a name that would make him stand out either.
