Comment left Jun 30, 2008: "My name is Ebony. My dad named me that supposedly after some cheerleader who he was crushing on. When I was younger I just thought it was a name. Common at that. And not to mention I was so yellow. I thought it didn't fit me. I usta have this TA named Ms. Bell who would always tease me. Everytime she'd see me she'd be like "hey ebony. where's ivory." I was too young to understand. But since I've grown I've come to realize I love my name. It represents me and a great part of my African-American Heritage. I'm not as yellow as I usta be. And I'm not super dark. But I am black.And I take pride in that.I couldn't imagine being named anything else lol" (Report as inappropriate)

Emily is the most common misconception, and when i try to correct people they mostly come up with and amalgamation of the two, 'ebily' or 'emboly'. Which i don't think are even names. I must be honest i don't meet many others with my name." (Report as inappropriate)
