Ask McFartnuggets: "How Come You Never Meet Any Black Women Named Stephanie?"

This is what you imagine
when you try to picture
a Stephanie.
Dear McFartnuggets: 
How come you never meet any Black women named Stephanie? -- Neil from Vermont


Dear Neil:
There are just some names that aren't popular with certain ethnicities or backgrounds. You might not see too many Black women named Stephanie or Amber for the same reason you don't meet too many White women named Latoya or Latisha. It's the same reason you don't meet too many White men named DeAndre or Treyshaun. It's the same reason you don't meet too many Asian people named Yitzhak. People tend to name their babies things that are acceptable in the social circles and culture. Maybe one day as our cultures become more and more mixed up you might start seeing Black women named Tiffany and White women named Charmisha.
