I work with engineers from Kenya, Ivory Coast, Uganda, and a few other places on the continent of Africa. Their names are George, Phillip, Charles, Robert, and a Miguel. They look quite puzzled when the locals here in Memphis are named, Keneesha, Shaniqua, L’aundre’, etc.... They were born and raised in African countries and the people there do not share this weird phenomenon. Maybe Nelson, Winnie, Desmond, Nissen, Nigel, but not the “Amafrican” made up names that black Americans are so eager to create?
When I was in college, there were some engineering students from Nigeria who did not look kindly upon the urban black “culture” in Newark NJ. If anything they were more British than the British.
