Judges have a say-so in the naming of Black babies

After Judge Cabrera’s historic ruling, little Clitoria Jackson will likely undergo a name change.

“It’s so hard to keep coming up with something unique,” said Uneeqqi Jenkins, 22, an African-American mother of seven who survives on public assistance. Her children are named Daryl, Q’Antity, Uhlleejsha, Cray-Ig, Fellisittee, Tay’Sh’awn and Day’Shawndra.

In a decision that’s expected to send shockwaves through the African-American community—and yet, give much relief to teachers everywhere—a federal judge ruled today that black women no longer have independent naming rights for their children.

The rule applies to all black women, but Cabrera singled out impoverished mothers.His ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought by a 13-year-old girl whose mother created her name using Incan hieroglyphics.

I'll be the first to say that this is just wrong, but, painfully to say, sometimes needed.

Don't name your baby girl Clitoria, people. I mean really.. That is too close to clitoris. People just need to think about the lifespan of baby names.. If your child was President, would you want the name Clitoris plastered across the screen.

Just a tip: If you won't be comfortable calling a 50 year old successful executive that name, then please don't call your baby that either.. Oh and naming babies after body parts is OUT!!!
