What’s in a name? For blacks, a job:
"Michelle Botus, a 37-year-old student at Bunker Hill Community College who has named her four children Asia, Alaysia, Khalima and Denzil, said she would advise mothers to choose names they like, then make sure their children get the education they need to rise above any discrimination they face.
“The fact you didn’t give the child the name you wanted, your regrets could be manifested in other ways later on,” said Botus. “I would say go for it. Just the fact that the mother would have the insight to have a dilemma, that means she’s thinking, and that’s one of the most important skills in parenting.”"
