Daouda

I was watching a show tonight and there was a black man on it named "Daouda" (die-ooda) and I instantly fell in love with it. It's an African name meaning "hardworking." What do you think of it? Is it too "ethnic" or just plain "weird?" I'm trying to compile some names that I like and I'm finding it very hard to come up with boy names, so it's rare when one jumps out at me.

I think its a cool name, but without some kind of connection, it will be a little strange. The little white baby could pull it off if he lived in Africa or his parents were from Africa, but not so much otherwise. If you really love it, use it as a middle name:)
