I have a sister named Quanicia, and a stepbrother named Quevanne, and even I had to do a double take.

 

Hope he becomes a cryotherapist and names his establishment DeColdest’s 36 Chambers.

I heard a story on NPR where they said African Americans are the only race that will give their kids a name that no one else on Earth has ever had.

1) It’s not likely to be the unorthodox name that creates a lack of success, but the other socioeconomic factors.

2) What the studies show is that “white” sounding names on resumes like Connor and Tanner get more interviews than “black” sounding names like DeAndre or Malik, even with equal qualifications. That’s a different conversation than “stupid” name vs “normal” name.
