Girls
Ishma - Is this the female version of Ishmael? If so, it's ok.
Tainyah(ta-ni-yah) - Looks and sounds made up.
Sarah - I love this.
Summer - I'm not usually a fan of random nature names, but I like this.
Laysha - Another made-up name.
Fatima - Yeah, girls don't feel pressured enough, so give her a name that starts with "fat" and get the kids to really pick on her.
Marianny - What the heck is this? It even looks ugly.
Allison - Great name.
Naomy (ni-o-me) - That y at the end makes it sooooo much better than Naomi, dontcha know.
Sachell - Sah- shell? Say-shell? Don't like it either way.


Boys
Chrispin - Not bad, but I could do without the H.
Dwayne - Real name, but not my style.
Jonny - He needs to get together with Chrispin and steal his H.
Matthew - Love this name.
Andrew - Another great name.
Joel - Wow! Three great names in a row!
Samba - Isn't this a dance?
Anthony - Love it.
Jesus - I really don't like this at all.
Rodrigo - Great name.

Lol yeah some of those are off. I asked an African parent once why so many little girls are named Fatima, Fatou or Fatoumata and she said those names are their variants on the name Mary and have the same biblical meaning to them as Mary does to Christians. So I see that name a lot in my work community.
