n. - Personal name popular with African Americans or found exclusively in African American communities.
For girls, Ebonics names typically follow the pattern of three syllables with the stress on the second vowel. This may be accomplished by adding a prefix to a mainstream, two-syllable name, or by inventing a name from scratch. Less commonly, a two-syllable name is made by adding a syllable to the ending "-elle."
For boys, Ebonics names are often names formerly popular with whites. Otherwise, they are two syllable names with the stress on the second syllable. This pattern can be achieved by adding a prefix to a single-syllable mainstream name, or by inventing a name by combining two syllables. As with girls, a boy's name can also be formed with the "-el" (notice masculine spelling) ending.
Invented Ebonics names often begin with the syllables La/Le, Da/De, or Sha/She.

Get the Eponine mug.She can be an amazing person. She’s a girl that is strong and independent sometimes she can get moody about being alone. She’s a loyal and caring person if your a good friend to her. Never test her patience she can be someone that is not willing to give you her patience especially if you taking very long and pressing her buttons. She can be best friends with a girl named Ava. She will get very upset if taken for granted and can easily get trust issues.

Get the Ebonie mug.a linguistic disease that is causing the downfall of society, especially those who use it as a primary language. This disease undermines and devalues important concepts like parenthood by calling the mother of your child, a person with whom the sacred bond of parenthood should be implied a 'baby-momma'
if the ebonic plague continues to spread, our underprivledged have little hope of learning the value of parenthood, sexuality, and hope.
