At the hospital where my sons were born (in the last century!), the nurses in the maternity ward laughed about how some of the names were chosen. They said one black couple didn't know what to pick, looked over at the bedside table and saw a bottle of Tylenol, and then ... lo and behold ... the little girl had her name - Tylenisha. They said this happened with another black couple, but instead of seeing a bottle of Tylenol, they spied a bottle of Pepto Bismol. I can't remember what name was generated from this, but I bet it was a doozy!

Re: “"Ebonica"??? I'm sure she was lovely, BUT ... ROTFLMAO!”In Sacramento, I worked for years with a pretty young thing named "Shufonica." My reaction was much like yours. Where do they get these names??? WHY do they get these names?

My theory is that they throw together a box of household merchandise, draw two of them out at random and go with the 1st syllable of one item and the 2nd syllable of another. (It perfectly explains the existence of "Plunjrella," the H.R. Specialist in my Virginia office.)
