    From one (1) day's worth of basketball summaries from our agate page:

    Kemeikia, Sharalyn, Tyeshia, Quentessa, Francheska, Janquandraa, Shaquinta, Myaisha, Faytra, Mechel'Le, Shareka, Zalika, Donzedrick, Zaterika, Dontavious.

    It's gotten to the point where the Jamals and Dominiques are commonplace.
