Is "Terence" A Black Name?

[fenixconnexion]

NT quick question, is "Terence" a black or should I say, African-American sided name? Some people look at me funny when I tell them my name andthey're like, "that's a black name..." and I'm Chinese

, so who's tripping here? thanks

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Is that so? Anyway, a number of latinos have mispronounced my namethinking the " J" is silent.. just correct them. Unless you really mean you wouldn't name yourson "Terrence" because it is indeed, a black name.[/color]
