Anybody here name their kids after an athlete, actor or musician??????

[deusavertat]

Im naming all my kids variations of my first name, like George Foreman's children.

I met a kid named "Anakin" last year at a screening. He was like 12 & I just started asking him all these questions, couldn't help it

That’s a dope name and I can’t front, I did bring it up to the wife but then, I just couldn’t do it to my son to have people calling him Annie growing up

 

[marikomorose]

marikomorose named his cat Supreme


Hypebeasts

I'm allergic to cats. Please do better w/ your libel.

 

[Hahahaha]

I'm technically named after an athlete.

My mom just liked the name so she went with it.

My friend tried to name his son Broly from DBZ.

His girl met him in the middle and let him rock with Leonidas and Zeus.

Long story short if you let dudes name kids ESPECIALLY boys we are going to wild out.

I’m guessing your name is Smush

**** reminds me when I saw a segment on parents naming their kids ESPN

 

[doublemesh96]

Named my twins Urien and Gill

My sister’s boss named his son Anakin. She had no idea why I was caught off guard when she told me.

Skywalker would be a dope last name.

 

[tr1ll]

Lol That’s how you do it. Find a woman that has no interest in pop culture.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think it depends on the name. Naming your kid LeBron or Makaveli is kinda wild. Naming your kid Nasir or Kobe after legendary celebrities is dope to me.

What is the LOGIC behind the first two being wild but the last 2 NOT being wild?

 

[lil black jean jacket]

my dad named me after this guy

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think its super tacky.

Pets are one thing but your flesh and blood lol nah.

I come in peace. (I know the title of the THREAD)

DO you consider it tacky for names like Langston (Hughes) or ZOra (Neale hurston) to be given to young black kids?

Why/Why Not?

 

[SupremeBeing5]

I know a dude named Genuwine.

 

[mastamind033]

There’s a couple players in the NFL named Raekwon, I always thought that was a dope name.

I had a homie in HS who was named Rakim after the god MC himself.

 

[jaypesoz]

Still no Lil' DeXerxes's out there?

 

[djkona]

My first son’s middle name is Jordan.
My second son’s middle name is Michael.
My daughter’s first and middle names are Makena Jane (MJ).

ASAP Rocky first name is Rakim.


My rule is ringing true in here. Let a dude name their son and we shall OD.

 

[MajinZuub]

I'm named after a music conductor, mostly because my mom really liked the name

 

[MetalMario]

I’ve met a couple that both like MK and went with Raiden actually lol. And a friend of a friend loved The Wire so much he named his kid Marlo.

 

[ICE CITY CF]

Me and all my brothers named after Ku****e pharaohs.

[Nujavez]

[Nereyda Vuelve Por Dios]

I was named after a star mets player from the 80’s.

 

[Mark Antony]

I come in peace. (I know the title of the THREAD)

DO you consider it tacky for names like Langston (Hughes) or ZOra (Neale hurston) to be given to young black kids?

Why/Why Not?

I feel like he just jumped out the window without really thinking bout it. Not getting why it's tacky.
