so fail on your part.
You have to understand Americans tend to name their children after someone in their family or some object and at the vary least makes some crap out of thin air. In other parts of the world children are named after traits (bighead, tall, fat ect) or after something that the parents hope that they will become (brave, compasionate ect). So many of the closed minded folks will not have a clue as to what you are talking about

State offices also took another son, Hons Campbell, from his parents Heath and Deborah Campbell just hours after he was born in November.

As jacked up as it sounds, it is true all of those names are made up and have no meaning whatsoever. This trend amongst young black girls started in the 70's as a way to connected with their black indentity and somwhere between then and now they just strated naming their kids with names that they thought was cute

I'm sure that their names were changed by the courts. But you really have to question parents who give children outrageous names because they think it is "cute" or "different", not taking into account that the child has to bear the brunt of something the parents did without giving it any thought of the impact on the child.

You will find several people on the following well known Coptic Christians list who have "Muslim" names (but dare I say, you wouldn't know the difference as to which names are interchangeable religiously)

List of Copts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
r





None of those people are from this country, most here have never heard of them or know who they are. Still cant name one person from this nation . Crickets. Most all of those peope are from predominetly Arab nations. What a shocker. You can't name one prominent person that everybody would know in this this country. Why is that? 1. Barrack Hussein Obama is or at one time was a Muslim 2. He wasn't born here.
