I know what NOT to name it.... (this is from my experience as a teacher.. certain names carry certain personalities... PS.. Don't mean to offend anyone.. just my $0.02))
No to Girls named: Kiara (or any derived spelling of it.. this is code for ****), Amber or Jasmine (gonna be a stripper), Alicia (LIAR and sneaky), Kari (very Naive and often ends up pregnant), Christina (well... kind of like Kari.. without being Naive)
No to Boys named: Taylor (thinks they are slick and can get away with everything), any Initial Names (BJ, CJ, JD etc) (these kids have a certain attraction to dipping tobacco), Justin (or Justyn)(A.K.A. CRIMINAL), Cody.... (hangs out with Taylors and the Initial Crowd), Gideon and Damion.... (unless you REALLY hate the kid), Josh....( too dumb to get themselves out of trouble.... kind of like a male Kari.)
okay.... I think that just about covers it.. but I could always go into the Zacchaeus, Raheim, Quentin, Devontae, Booker, Komichael, Quantavian, Octavia, Ne-She, Carleshia, Danique, Ankilah (pronounced like Tequila without the T) and Shanique's.... but I don't think you are going to name your child any of those.
BTW... those are all REAL names of ACTUAL students that I have or have had in my class.
