More names from "Who's Who in Colored America" 1942

GIRLS


Omolofi - mother to Orishatukeh below. She was of the Yoruba people.

Robertann

Santalia - 

Thyra



BOYS


Binga - this was his mother's maiden name

Breckenridge

Burghardt - this was his middle name but the name he went by. The famous W.E.B. Dubois.

Burrell

Carrington

Countee - the poet Countee Cullen

Elegy

Galaway

Grand Pre - This was a middle name but it caught my eye. Arthur Grand Pre Falls. Physician. Turns out that Grand Pre was his mother's maiden name, though of course, I thought of the Grand Prix race in France. His mother's first name was Santalia, so I've included her above. It also looks like he had a Jr.

Holman

Kirksey

Noy

Orishatukeh - He was of the Yoruba people.

Primas - this was his father's name also

Treston - his son was named this also
