Gotta remember- D.C. has a much higher black population than most states/areas, something like 60% I believe? I know with my own cousins and friends (who are black), originality is valued quite highly. I'd even be willing to bet that the percentage of children born with a top name is much lower than it is in other states. Names like Lyric, Jayla and Aniyah definitely fit the bill, and in my experiences are sort of the Isabella, Mia, and Emma of the black community.
