What do you think of these name for brothers?
Danté Jeiel (zhay-yell)
Andre James
If you could give reasons why, that would be nice as well.
Danté Jeiel is a set name, it will be used.
Jeiel is the name of my SO.
My SO is Afro-Brazilian American and I am white so the children will look black/white biracial.
First, I am Proud to be with a black man and happy that my children will be racially mixed, no matter the negativity that I will and expect to get from it - even though we are in the 21st century.
Second. Dante is not that ethnic and I have heard it used on many different people from different ethnic origins.
Third.I, and he, prefer Andre to Andrew.
Fourth. As I said, he is Brazilian. Jeiel is his name and that is how it is pronounced, it is also a Biblical name.
Fith. So, define Traditional. Traditional Brazilian? Traditional African American? Traditional White American? Traditional is different depending on where you live so telling me to pick a 'traditional' name does nothing.

Lady, your children will look black. When someone look at a bi-racial person, they see a black person. Period.
Dante Jeiel is too ethnic. Jeiel seems like something you made up. I would seriously reconsider and give your child a more traditional name that DOES NOT suggest racial or ethnic background.
Andre James is nice, but it would be even nicer if you changed it to a more traditional Andrew James.
