Answer 1

Your question made me laugh!  I sympathize with you -- I had a friend who just loved the name Nevaeh, and no one had the heart to tell her it sounded extremely ghetto.  Luckily, I was able to steer her toward something else modern and ethnic, but not ghetto.

Your sister seems to like uncommon names with unusual letters or spellings.  You may want to look for some foreign names to suggest to her, as those will be very uncommon and are often spelled in ways that look odd to English-speakers, but they will still be legitimate names instead of ghetto inventions.  African, Indian, and Arabic names might work especially well.  Here are some ideas:

Girls:

Amira

Amaia

Keira/Ciara

Tatiana

Liana

Sasha

Sarai (suh-RYE)

Naima

Asha

Jamila

Karima

Lina

Saida

Samira

Samiya

Soraya

Yasmin

Zahrah/Zara

Arya

Amala

Devi

Kala

Lila

Mira

Nila

Adaeze

Adanna

Imani

Nia

Zola

Some combinations I like:

Zara Yasmin (means &quot;blooming jasmine flower&quot;)

Zola Imani (means &quot;peaceful faith&quot;)

Samiya Adaeze (means &quot;supreme princess&quot;)

Soraya Adaeze

Tatiana Sarai

Boys:

On her list, I already like Malachi and Jamil.  Malachi Jamil Griffin would be a great name.  Tell her it means &quot;my beautiful angel.&quot;  Maybe that will convince her.  (Malachi means &quot;my angel&quot; in Hebrew and Jamil means &quot;beautiful&quot; in Arabic.)  

Jason Andreas would be a fabulous name were it spelled correctly.  Jayson isn&#039;t awful, but Un&#039;dreus is hideous.

Jayden and Kayden aren&#039;t as bad as some of her other choices.  They&#039;re just extremely trendy.

Best of luck to you.  I know this is a tough situation.  Ultimately, of course, the child&#039;s name is up to her and her husband, but polite suggestions are definitely in order if they save the child a lifetime of living with an awful name.

Answer 2

I like the boy name Kayden. And I like the girl names gracee,Alannah, Ainslee and Ashlyn

Answer 3

I like Trinity Makayla for a girl!

I like Lorenzo Jaevon for a boy!

Answer 4

why have you &quot;compromised&quot; the child isn&#039;t yours..she can call her baby what she wants

Answer 5

i like Jayden and Gracie

(oh and i like Olivia, Makayla and Ashyln)

Answer 6

Ha ha ha why we keep doing this ghetto name thing. Come on now it&#039;s old I thank the Lord I don&#039;t have a ghetto name most of these names are ridiculous. Makayla, Gracee and Olivia are nice names Jayson is the only boys name that I could make out so I guess that one is okay to.  

Answer 7

I like Jayson Malichi and Makayla Rose. I know i have mixed and matched but those are the names that seem nicest to me.

Answer 8

I like Alannah Nicole and Jayden Malachi

Answer 9

Jada Rose - girl

Jayson Michael - boy

Just tell her &quot;look you are 1/2 white and your hubby is white, you do not need a ghetto name!&quot;

And why isn&#039;t the husband helping defend his future kid??

Answer 10

Your sister can name her child whatever she wants it is not your decision.

I can&#039;t belive you would put the full - first, middle, and last

name on the internet for strangers and child molesters to see.

Answer 11

Wow, you have your work cut out for you!

Sorry, the boys names are all horrid.

The girls actually look a lot better.

Answer 12

Ultimately, it&#039;s her decision (and her husband&#039;s) - That said, here are my choices -

Jayden Malachi

Jayson Andreas (prefer the spelling here)

Ashlynn Nicole

Jada Rose

Lavinia is a name from the 1920&#039;s that kind of has that &quot;sound&quot; she&#039;s looking for.  Queenie is another name from the same time period.  Just a suggestion, you might try looking up names from that time period and see that there are many names that fit the sound she&#039;s looking for.

Blessings

Answer 13

Jayden Malachi and Alannah Nichole

I also like Athena for a girl I went to school with girl who named her little 1/2 white, 1/2 African American daughter that... she is beautiful and very smart.

Answer 14

I really like the names Ashlynn Nicole, Jaylynn Michelle, and Alannah Nicole. I don&#039;t think they even sound ghetto but are so pretty. For the boy names, I love the name Jayson Un&#039;dreus (I just love the name Jayson). I think a lot of the names you have picked out are really cute. How about Jalen if it&#039;s  a boy too?

Answer 15

those are great names!i like jayden and jayson for a boy, and jada and olivia for a girl.  

Answer 16

ASHLYNN NICHOLE

Answer 17

I know a very ghetto name and it&#039;s even pretty too! The name is Jazzarae (Jazz-AH-ray) it&#039;s for a girl.

Jazzarae Ashlynn [say it to yourself! it can&#039;t can&#039;t anymore ghetto lol]

for boys: Jayden is more of a anti-ghetto boy actually... Ty&#039;Shuwn is the most ghetto sounding.

Answer 18

Kennedy Grace and Ashley or Ashlynn Nicole. Olivia Taylor is  nice

Answer 19

Jayden Malachi Griffin

I really like these names

For a girl

I like

Gracee Nicole
