Jamaican Baby names

 My friend was looking for a baby name that speaks Jamaican and at the time I could not think of one. Some time later I thought of the name "Errol." Is this a true Jamaican name?


What are your thoughts?


Can you think of another name that says that you are from the island?

Someone read the blog and said I should include these names as well.  I'm not sure they all qualify as Jamaican names, do you agree?


1. Gavin

2. Kevin

3.

Some said that the pet names are more Jamaican than they regular names, and I should list those . New post created.
