    I am expecting Zboy Jr. in a couple of months and my wife and I were mulling over the baby's name.

    I am seriously considering naming him/her Hakeem.

    What do you guys think? Anyone else done this? If so, did it make the baby better?

    PS. The other option is Karl.

    No, but I'm considering naming my first born daughter HaLisa though.

    (I need to first find a woman though).

    If the baby is a girl, don't name her Hakeem.

    I'd say name it Hakeem just to help breakdown those types of stereotypes.

    Karl with a K! That's my mom's bf's name, and that's what we call him KARL WITH A K. Please don't name him Hakeem or Karl with a K. Name him Theo Huxtable. Why was the show called the Cosby Show when their last name was Huxtable. :confused: Bill.

    No, but I named a dog "Rudy"

    If I was you, I think "Chilcutt Zboy" has a nice ring to it

    How about Elijah for a first name and Juan for a middle name?

    Hakeema is the female form of Hakeem. Calling a girl Hakeem is the same as calling her Bill.

    Karl, like Karl Malone...you've got to be kidding me...

    Hakeem, well, unless he's going to be 7 ft tall center, maybe not...

    What about Chuck, or Luis, or Tracy, or Steve...

    I am sorry, but If I name my kid anything that resembles Juwan, I might be endangering the baby as well as myself because of future child abuse.

    I like how you think.

    I dont need to go with "typical" names from my own race. I am open to names from any culture/race.

    Strange way of fixing things. I have never heard of a girl named Billa.
