My name is Ebony-leigh and I am white I don't think when people hear my name they automatically assume I'm black because of the name- it's a name it isn't my race or ethnicity it's a name it doesn't describe who I am.
The name Ebony was given to 56 girls born in the US in 2015.
I think associating the name Ebony with black people is an American thing (for the African Americans), I'm white Australian and never been bullied etc. In fact, I've gotten soo many compliments over the years on how beautiful my name sounds, how it suits me etc. I like my name and wouldn't change it, it was an uncommon name around when I was born but seems to be more popular now.
In Australia, where Ebony is currently a popular name, it is most often used by white parents.
