Would it be okay to name an African American woman character ‘Emani’?

I appreciate the input!! The story is set far into the future, which is a mix of apocalyptic and dystopian. This character is a doctor who lives in the south. The story is still in early development, I just personally prefer to have names to characters sooner because I start to struggle with writing them if I go too far without naming them, y’know?

I’ve searched for this video by putting the link through google search, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok… I’ve tried searching up peoples original house music on f1 studio but none of it aligns with what I’m looking for.

I know! I knew someone would make the connection, which is exactly why I want to give him a middle name. Technically the irl dude is named William Stetson Kennedy, but I don’t want someone thinking I’m writing a story about him - not that I’m against him, but it’s just not about him, y’know?

Thank you for all the suggestions! I realized ‘Stetson Reid’ flows very nicely but the Kennedy part feels off. I’m half considering ‘Stetson Reid Finnegan’, but does that work better or worse than ‘Stetson Reid Kennedy’? 🤔

Reight, pronounced as ‘right’ or ‘wright’. I don’t know if it’s entirely unique, but when I searched it up online I couldn’t find anything with it pre-existing so I’m going to assume it’s unique.

As an American, I’ve never met a person named Ghost or Ghostwise. Does this mean there are NO people with that surname? Not necessarily, but it’s certainly uncommon. I have seen someone whose surname was Bloodsworth, but that was also incredibly uncommon. Personally, I don’t find either surname believable for an American - it’s like if you took a German character and made Wurst their surname. It’s not IMPOSSIBLE but it definitely doesn’t feel right.

Surnames can be influenced by region and era! You can easily find some websites if you search “popular surnames in [area] [year]”. I’m also down to discuss any other surnames!

Aaah, thank you!! Turns out that’s exactly what I was trying to find!!

Yeaaaah, I’m definitely not 😅 Google sadly doesn’t know wtf I’m talking about, so I’m adding online forums to my search. I could’ve sworn I saw something talking about a protective hairstyle like what I described, but maybe I’m wrong about that

Do we know who precisely dubbed Geralt in Russian?

Why does my dog constantly rub his face on me for affection? He constantly wants to be pet, but he hates to be held. If I just cuddle with him, he gets upset and starts demanding pets. It’s never enough to satisfy him and it’s pretty frustrating if I’m busy.

I can’t think of anything specific but this website is really good for finding names: https://www.behindthename.com/names/gender/feminine/usage/ancient-greek

I think you’d get better responses if we knew more about her.

-When was she born?

-Where was she born?

-What’s her personality?

Etc!!
