There is a fascinating chapter on this subject in one of the two freakonomics books.

Those are names from the native land.

Normal names were their slave names.

For the record, if a parent names their child Precious or Diamond is it really society's fault for failing them? Mom and Dad screwed them long before their kindergarten teacher took attendance for the first time.
