This is something black people tend to do. I assume it started as a way to have their own "black identity" by naming their kids unique names, no matter how ridiculous some of the names are.

But what is the deal with this generation of white people today? Why are they giving their kids ridiculous names? Narcissism? The idea that everyone is special and unique?

What's the deal?

It would be nice if OP could post some examples of said ridiculous names from white parents.

Are we talking about Grayson, Aidon, Braydon, or really made up names?

I think it’s getting so far away from our ancestral roots and a declining Christian population.

For a long time names especially among men were family names continually passed down, or named after a popular relative, or named a Christian name (Mark, paul, John, etc).

I don’t know why, but I’d guess it’s more distance from the church and a lot more broken families these days so they try to create their own unique names instead of naming them after something or someone meaningful to them.

A lot of traditional names have meaning and roots in Christianity or old European families.

Have a friend who posted a 3d sonogram of her twin grandchildren just tonight actually. The caption was Kamryn and Kash. Good Lord. The days of Michael and Melinda are long gone.

I'd assume that there's a direct correlation between below average intelligence and having 4 kids with names ending with -en and -lyn, but that's just an assumption.

I automatically think less of people with names such as that one. It's subconscious.

I won't even open thier application.

Why do parents ruin their kids lives?

If I have to list examples because you are oblivious to what I'm talking about, then you wouldn't have a good explanation anyway.
