Me and My boyfriend just discovered were going to have a baby, I am not due til November but were taking the next couple months to come up with the perfect name. He is black & I am white- so we want something unique. We have a pretty girls name, just need a boy. Were keeping the sex a surprise. so any help is great.

Im White and mt husband is coloured. We have two boys called Lashawn and Tyreece. Im Irish and husband is South African and we live in Ireland but I wanted a African American name as I love them, so both names are unusual over here

deatryk :) i have a mixed little boy ( African American & White ) and that was in our handful of names but we went with ' Braelon ' but Deatryk was a close second ! I love it because it's different , unique and could be associated with any race ! Hope this helps . Bet of luck with your pregnancy && hope you have a healthy healthy baby :))

uhh black americans have the same names as white american just plainer. It's only the ones who want to be different. But some white americans like different names as well. So just pick a name you like.

A childs race has nothing to do with their name. (I say this as the mother of 2 biracial children, a boy and a girl). Go with names that you LIKE, are family names or have meanings that you think are important to life or sprituality. Choosing a name based on race is....well racist in a way. Don;t feed into an ignorant practice and just choose your childs name instead of trying to create his racial identity through his name. Just a suggestion.

I am white and my husband is black and we have 2 boys. They are Kaiden Daniel and Kyler David. For me it wasnt about race, I just wanted something i really loved. And trust me, you are going to want something you love because you will be using it ALL the time by the time they are a toddler lol. Good luck with your name search and Congratulations to you both on your new bundle of joy :)

when my husband and I were thinking of a name for our son (he is black, i am white) we wanted to pick something that wasn't obviously one or the other. i think you just have to pick a name that you both like a don't worry about anything else. some names that i think are nice for boys are matthew, tristan, kristian, caleb, malik, jackson, and xavier

why does it have to be a "mixed" kids name?? just go with a name you both like, dont bring race into it (unless one of you is a specific ethnivity and you want that child to have a name from it..like if you are german and you want you kid to have a german name)
