A girl named Ebony....?

I was watching TLC this afternoon and there was a lady named Ebony that had a little girl. She named her Ivory. Am I the only one that finds this odd?

    No, you are not the only one to find this odd/sad - And I've seen this trend happening a lot

    The weirdest one I ever heard of was a women named "Tree" who had a son named "Leaf" (No, she really spelled it this way and not the more tradition "Leif"!)

    Also - Mother: Jewel - Daughters: Ruby & Diamond

    It takes all kinds!

    HTH :-)

    I've never met anyone with those names except for Ebony and Monique. And both Ebonys and the one Monique were all white. A possibly Spanish Tyrone and an Aboriginal Keisha did go to my school though, I just didn't know them.

  • I literally just finished watching that same show!

    My husband and I chuckled, we thought the same thing! The song Ebony and Ivory kept playing in my head! Lol

    Yeah, that is weird.

    I like the name Ebony, but definitely not with Ivory.

    Hopefully they'll live together in harmony...

    I think Ebony is a pretty name. Ivory reminds me of elephants :)

    I've seen worse names though.

    That's definitely weird. I understand the fun of having somewhat of a theme with family names, but that's pushing it a little too far for my taste.
