Don’t lie. You’ve had second thoughts about going out with ‘Quinisha” or ‘Twinika’ just because of the name. Admit it. We talk so often about ‘urban names’ and how it impedes the hiring process, but what about the affect on dating?
I can say honestly that I’ve never dated a man with an over – urbanized name (is there a proper term for what I’m trying to say here?) and I can’t tell you if it’s because I’ve never met that man or because I have, but laughed in his face (thus ruining my dating opportunity) when he told me his government name was ‘Lil’ Cuz’
Could you imagine if our President chose ‘Ferraria Jenkins’ as his wife instead of Michelle? (Shame on all of you out there saying to yourself, “what’s wrong with Ferraria?”)
