Oh man Shaniqua. I just used it as an example of an African-American name in the Writing Room. I honestly did not know that it was considered that stereotypical and had so much negative connotation attached to it. I was just trying to think of an African-American name that most people would be familiar with. So many of them are unique or very unusual, but I thought it would defeat my purpose to cite one that wasn't familiar to most people.
