Let me preface this with the family is from Sierra Leon. These names may be utterly common in Sierra Leon...in Dallas, they caught my attention -

Dad: Mustapha
Mom: Fanta
Son: Daddy

It was the Daddy that caught my eye...then all I could see was Fanta soda and Mustapha from the Lion King....

Except for Daddy, those are pretty common amongst the African population. I work in an area with a high African population. What I have noticed is that some take terms of endearments and use them as first names to honor that person.
