Any ideas?

I agree with RoadRage that some of the black people I've met have names pulled out of thin air, but here are a couple I've actually met and where their names came from.
Frankeisha - from her father named Frank and her mother Keisha
Lemonjello - pronounced (le-mahn-je-low) Named for the lemon jello the mother was served in the hospital
Orangejello - pronounced (o-rahn-je-low) twin to Lemonjello. You can figure out where this one came from.
Female - pronounced (feh-ma-lee) any guesses?
De'wayne - ok the ' is a way to distinguish it from other Dewaynes, but the name is pronounced de-juan (WTF??)
