MY NAME IS EBONY I LOVE IT AND ANYONE HATE IT BIGS UP TO ALL EBONY'S HATER

My name is ebony and I never have any problems. Except for E-bone-e. But to be honest I think It'sounds really cool.I'm white and got no comments about that p.s I am 12 and love my name completely and wouldn't change it for the world.

I am expecting a baby and if it is a girl i will definitely be naming her Ebony. It is a beautiful, it means stren'th but also dark beauty which i am sure my daughter will be . (if it is a girl)

My name is Ebony but It's spelled Ebane'. From 1st grade til now (12th) teache's have called me e-bane or e-bah-knee and many more. It's really annoying and i get mad when'they mispronounce it. But my senior math teacher calls me ebane n ivory but I'm cool with it cuz she's extra crazy.!!

my name is ebony and i love the name . i dosent just not black. i am a kid . but my name is me

It really Isn't that hard to spell my name but people always do it wrong! ebany, abony, ebonie, eboni god there are loads. 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 othe's with my name.

Ebony has always been one of those names that'sounds much better on a child than an adult. I would no sooner name my child Ebony than I would Barbie, Molly or child-like name. People say a black name makes it harder to be a success, but people know that you are black when'they see you no matter what your name is. Act professionally and those negative associations to our names will stop.

OMG!! I thought I was the only one with the nickname 'Ebbie' *well my name is also Ebony* but just found out there are lots.... I'mean It's really cool and I love it. It doesn't matter what your name is, as long as there's a pretty story behind how you got that unique name.

My name is Ebony G, I like my name, there❤️s nothing wrong with it. By the way you can call white and black people Ebony. Ebony means a tree or wood that is black.

My name is Ebony Denise. Growing up I hated my name. Because like everyone else I would get the references to the'song Ebony and Ivory, or Ebony magazine. Not to mention I have lighter'skin so I constantly get jokes about it being ironic that my name is Ebony when I'm so light. Because I was (and still am) on a journey of self love and my name is a part of who I am, I decided to do some research on my name in hopes that I could find a way to connect with it. Here❤️s what I came up with: 1. Ebony is the name of a very hard black wood that comes from exotic trees that grow in the tropics (India and Africa) 2. The name originates from the Egyptian word 'hbnj' meaning black. 3. Because of It's beauty, durability and high quality it is one of the most sought after and valuable woods in the world. It's also for this reason that ebony wood is becoming more and more scarce and that most Ebony trees have been classified as endangered. With all that'said...I love my name. I feel like it describes me; black, beautiful, exotic, highly sought after, highly valued, and rare. If you carry this name this is who you are!!! Embrace it...wear it proudly! Peace.

I am very happy to know that my parents decided to name me Ebony. I truly beli've that God has blessed me with intelligence, poise, grace, compassion, and integrity. Being a young lady of African American descent, I take pride in the name Ebony. My skin is dark and I am beautiful. The name Ebony means 'dark beauty'. Let's just say that certainly describes me.

Hey, my name is Ebony and I love my name because I know the meaning of it and my father named me. He planned to name his daughter that his 6th grade year... and that's me. I love my name and I'm very proud of my name... I love that my name means DARK BEAUTY and stren'th. It is true, and that's why I love my name'so much and I wish othe's will learn and understand the true meaning of the name Ebony. My name represents me so I could care what people judge me of because of my name.

My name is Ebony. My parents almost named my sister (a year younger than me) Ivory, but they named her Ariana instead. I love my name and every time I tell someone my name they say It's pretty. I only knew one other person named Ebony and I'm probably the only Ebony most people around me know so that could be why they think It's so exotic.

The name Eden has such grace I think. Its unique and has a beautiful meaning. After three handsome little boys, I am pregnant with our first little girl and wanted something very special. I beli've Eden fits the bill. Ive had mixed responces to the name but they say that a child becomes their name. If that is true then I happy with paradise. Eden Rose I', thinking.

HI'my name is Ebony and yes people do pronunce it wrong. But its ok because i like my name i world never change it. I just found out that it means stren'th but i always thought I'meant black. Well don't let anyone tell you they dont like your name be strong and keep pushing.

my name is ebony mae stevens my first name is ebony. i actually hate my name, i dont know why , but i have many nicknames:ebbie,ebs,eb,ebby,neenee(It's embarrassing)ebonene and so on . i enjoy the variety of names i can be called though

When I was a child, I asked my father: "why did you give me such a serious name❤️ See❤️ Try to say it with a smile...It's hard... you have to say it with a serious face." I remember that he was smiling and shaking his head as he replied, "you'll grow into it". My name and I are one at this point. Whether or not it is popular or not makes little difference to me. Be warned: as simple as this name is- a palindorome like Otto, people will constantly mispronounce it (Mavis and Ahhvuh) and misspell it (Eva). As an Ava you are a bird and fly above all that. And, It's Ava- kind of rhymes with flavor. People may fall in love with you(r)name.

I would love to be called Ebony. If I ever have a girl I will definitely call her that.

My name is Ebony and I hated it growing up and still do because of the meaning I recommend no one to name their child Ebony.

My name is Ebony and I hated my name growing up. Kids would look up and stare when we read a story and ebony was mentioned as an adjective to describe something. Im finally happy to see what the true meaning of Ebony means, however, I'must warn you guys that the name is both Eqyptian and Greek. I have a better appreciation.

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

I used to hate my name, Eboni, and always wanted to change it to my middle name, Kianna. But as I got older, i realized that it was a beautiful and unique name and i've only met one other person with the'same spelling of my name. Just know that if u have this name then you are a unique and beautiful person and... probably a little weird too. :p

Rachael is NOT the female version of Michael. Your book is incorrect. The name Rachel (and its subsequent spellings) is of Hebrew origin meaning "ewe".

HI'my name is Ebony I see no problem with the name Ebony I think it is a beautiful name I was alway told that my name means Black but I later learned it means Stren'th I LOVE MY NAME

My name is also Ebony but since I'm Persian we pronounce n write it differently:Abnoos. I'm really proud of my name'since It's very rare in my culture n people usually tell me It's beautiful n unique! so thumb up gals!~

ohh i know what you mean that Ebony and Ivory song always get sung to me also. But for me its actualy something that makes me proud because my mum is white and my dad is dark coloured so I feel that the'song is fitting. i also find it acts like a breaker and i think its a great song any way.

My name is Ebonie Nichole. When i was younger i didnt like my name but ive learned to like it. but i can do without certain comments made about the name for instance "In every ghetto there is always an ebonie (ebony)" Oh your name is Ebonie (ebony) u gotta be a freak" "Ebony❤️ yo mama picked the ghettoest name" Ugh! but then'there are the good comments so im good. and no matter how u spell it all ebony's, ebonie's, eboni's, ebonni's at the end of the day its still pronounced the'same and they all are beautiful.

Welll my name is Natasha and i totally luv it; the problem is that I was born in the US, but I live in a foreign country nowadays... mu nickname is Nat, Nata and Natashinha (caring diminutive in Portuguese) but usually people call me by my given name, which is nicer for me !

I love my name. Its beautful, unique & has a good meaning. We all have different names because we are different people. Thats what makes the world so great. If everyone had the'same name, the world would be boring. God alowed us to be named Ebony and its really special. You should embrace your name and love it because thats what God intended for you!!!

My Name Is Ebony. I Absolutly Love It! I Always Get Comments From People Saying That I Have A Beautiful Name :)

My Name is Eboni (with an I). I love my name. I had no idea that my name meant strentgh. I just though it meant "Black". Now I can share with the world when'they ask me what my name means I will tell them its Black Beauty and It's Stren'th. I am all of that. I am bless to have this name.

My name is Ebony and I absolutely hate this name. NEVER EVER name a white baby Ebony they will hate you

My father'suggested that I be named Ebony, so that everyone would know I'm half black. It kind of back fired on him though because everyone assumes I'm Mexican or Asian. Regardless, I tell everyone to call me Ebb or Sidd just to spite him for being so stupid in choosing my name. Honestly though, who does that❤️ I don't have a problem with the name other than the reason why I was named it and I don't recommend that anyone name their child Ebony unless they want them to grow up constantly hearing that dreadful song, "Ebony & Ivory" over and over and over again for the rest of their lives...

I love this name. Its my fave but im called Roisin meaning rose i love my name 2 but im gonna call my girl Ebony

my godfather name me that after he'saw me because i was a dark baby

Hi! I'm Ebony everyone thinks my name means BLACK it does not it means STRen'tH. The black wooded tree it is associated with was given'the name because it is so strong! I just thought I should tell other people with the'same name! I only just found this out and it makes me love my name even more. It is individual and different. It makes me who I am. If you'd asked me 3 years ago i would have said i would change my name but no I know I never will

My name is ebony but i spell it 3bony! i really like my name! when i was younger i wantd to change my name but know i dont! i really like my name because if you are named ebony then u r one of a kind and can get through any thing you put your mind 2

My name is Ebony and I love it. I carry it with pride. Its a name that will get and keep your attention. When guys ask me what my name is and I smile and say ebony you can see their eyes lighting up. And ny last name is literally white.. The color white so my full name is ebony white! Lol I know i've been'teased in my childhood years for the name. I love it though. It defines me! Ying and yang. BALANCE. U can't habe one wit out the other!

I WOULD NEVER change my name. ebony means black, yes, but what reason is tha to hate it and change it❤️ I pitty those who hate it, its individual and..makes you feel good about yourself. I have never CONSIDERED changing it.

Im about to be 22 and have yet to actuallyy meet someone personally with the'same name as me. i've always got people telling me what a lovely name I have ever'since I was little. The most annoying thing is when people used to come up to me and sing the Ebony and Ivory song by Stevie Wonder and Paul Mcartney. But I did feel special

I am an academic inter'sted in "Ebony," and I would welcome anyone who can provide comments and citation on anything pertaining to "Ebony."
