Where does such "african-american" names like Leroy, Jerome etc. come from/origin?
They come from many different areas. Some are French (Leroy), some are Greek (Jerome), and some are in the same, modern "made-up" category as Breelee and Jaxin (Beyonce). They are very similar to caucasian/Anglo American names in this respect. In the "made-up" category, I do sometimes wonder how and why certain sounds became more popular amongst black Americans, and others more popular amongst white Americans. When sounds like La, Sha, Ja, nae, shae, and iqua are combined, it seems more likely that the parents are African-American, and when sounds like Bree, Hay, Ana, leigh, and lin are combined, it seems more likely that the parents are white. It just goes to show that we are still name-brainstorming in somewhat segregated circles, I think.

Why do African-American's use names like "Shaniqua" and "Tyrone"?
Why is this? Most African-American's I know have these funny types of names...and they say they do it to honor their cultural heritage... BUT all the REAL African's i know have very traditional COMMONWEALTH names like "Mary" or "Andrew"...and the REAL Africans laugh at African-American names as they are not true African names! What gives?!
