First Names Only Black Guys Can Pull Off
By Jeff on Jul 9, 2009 in Daily Distractions, Lists | 7 Comments
The following old-fashioned first names should only be used by African-American males (in the U.S.). The use of these names by other races may be considered nerdy and could result in taunting.
- Marvin
- Maurice
- Milton
- Cedric
- Sheldon
- Eugene
- Marion
- Wilbur
- Vernon
- Quincy
- Rueben
- Neville
- Sherman
What about Kermit (Washington) and Melvin (Von Peebles)?

Actually, I think these might only be true in the US. In the UK, several of those names are quite normal
