Comments for the name Deandre

Shouldn't this go under Modern English names?

It's quite funny how this name manages to sound tacky and trashy, yet pretentious at the same time. Prefixes just don't go with names. This name will make it seem like the parents are dumb, and the kid will wind up dumb as well, what with the effect of the genes and environment combined. Not a name with a credibility factor or any maturity and style.

I knew an African American kid named Deandre in school. This is actually one "African American/Modern" name that I like, as it doesn't sound (to me) remotely "ghetto". Besides, it helps that the Deandre I knew was one of few kids in junior high that was nice to me. Anyway, I like how Deandre sounds. Perhaps because I already like Andre.

I know a lot of guys (mostly black but I know a white person with this name too) with this name and they're all really cool and chill. I don't think it's a ghetto name.

Also an anglicized version of the name D'Andre.

Ick. This is definitely a ghetto name.

Can we do away with the racist/classist commentary on the name? This name is really quite widely regarded as a common/neutral African-American name, and if these commenters did research, they'd learn about the significance of various prefixes in African-American naming conventions.
