Answer 3

Hmm.  Well here are some African names that I like.

Girls: Aiyana, Cyrah, Maisha, Nantale,

Boys: Asante, Djimon,

Try some sort of name website, like babynames.com or something, where you can actually search African baby names.

Answer 4

Good question!! Ok my mother had the same issue when I was little, she wanted me to be able to get a good job when I got older, you know how blacks are considered to have "ghetto names" right? Well, she wanted something creative and conservative, so she named me Constance Marie, and I get alot of feedback on my name because I'm an African-american with a conservative name..

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for but I'm going to throw names out there if that's cool..

Boy: Terreance, Kevin,

Girl: Chasity, Marie, Arie, Arielle, Gizelle..
