Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/African-American

Usage note African-Americans are among the most prolific name-creators today. If you have an African-American character, you can try adding elements like De-, Sha-, La-, an, vaughn, -tavius and -sha together and come up with your own unique name for him or her. French names such as Monique, Chantal, Andre, and Antoine will work since they are used by African Americans. Italian names such as Ginevra, Aurora, Francesco, and Alessandro will work because they can be used by African Americans. A native European name could work as long as it does not offend him or her. Black Muslims typically adopt Arab last names. Even if their religion is not Muslim or the surname is not an Arab last name, the Muslim names such as Kairo, Ali, Tamara, Aaliyah, and Khalid can still be used by African Americans even if they are not Muslims. Ghanaian names like Kwame and Kweisi can be used by African-Americans as well even if they have not traced their bloodlines to Ghana or are not born on the day the names mean. Any African names such as Ada, Amara, Amari, Adaeze, Obioma, Onyinye, Onyemaechi, Chinwe, Ozioma, Jabari, Ifunnaya, Imani, Ikechukwu, Kwante, Uzomaka, Ugochukwu, Ijeoma, Kamari, Nala, Okechukwu, Chukwuma, Omari, Obinna, Zaire, and Zendaya will work. Note: While the names of this list are frequently used by African-Americans, remember that they are also American and any American name will do. Please be respectful when using these names, and while many of them are common they are still stereotypical, and therefore can be seen as offensive. First names that are commonly used by African-Americans but are not exclusively African-American (such as Jessica, Tiffany, James and Orlando) should be added to the end section of the girls' and boys' lists on this page. Girls' names Almost any French name will work for an African-American girl.
