My experience is that ghetto names can be absurd or hilarious. Unique (you-nee-kwah) is pretty common, as are a few others, then you have the weird one like B'Honda (parents must have really liked their cars, I guess.) Some lead to hilarious situations, like a young kid in the hair care aisle of Wal Mart walking along a shelf pointing and saying "and that's my name, and thta's my name, and ..." The confusion was cleared up when his mother yelled from the next aisle over, "Yo Revlon, get yo' black ass over here."
