"Too many black children?and many adults?bear names that border on not even being words"... ?I am simply tired of these ridiculous names black women are giving their children,? said U.S. Federal Judge Ryan Cabrera
?They are the worst perpetrators,? he said. ?They put in apostrophes where none are needed. They think a ?Q? is a must. There was a time when Shaniqua and Tawanda were names you dreaded. Now, if you?re a black girl, you hope you get a name as sensible as one of those.?

The practice of giving black children outlandish names began in the 1960s, when blacks were getting in touch with their African roots, said historian Corlione Vest. But even he admits it got out of hand. ?I have a niece who?s six. I?m embarrassed to say I can?t even pronounce her name,? said Vest, a professor at Princeton University. ?Whenever I want to talk to her, I just wait until she looks at me and then I wave her over.?
