Would you be confused by a white girl named Shalondra?
- No.
Would you be confused by a black girl named Xiong?
- Surprised is a better word. I would tend to assume she had Chinese ancestry, because the pronunciation of that name wouldn't usually be known to entire families of American black people.
Would you be confused by an asian girl named Tzipporah?
- I might wonder if it was not her birth name.

- I would notice that it seemed odd.
