Where was this center your mom worked at? My fiance used to help babysit for two African-American boys with those names, in Redondo Beach, CA.
Those names are up on snopes (http://www.snopes.com/racial/language/names.htm) but I suppose they must be valid; I trust my fiance, and I can't see why you'd lie.
Also, Conuly, didn't we have a very similar discussion in your journal a while ago?
This was in Starkville, MS, though I suppose it's entirely possible the family could have moved. (Or possible another woman gave her children the same names, however unlikely....)
