    Honestly KR you aren't far off. If you look at Doc's definition it's a contemporary name so it's a recent creation. In the African-American culture it is not unusual for parents to take product names and then 'tweak' them to sound like the could be of african origin. More power to them but it often hurts my brain when I hear the names.

        Don't want to tread too far off topic here, but there is a NFL receiver with the name Peerless Price because his mom saw it on a moving van. I think it's pretty cool that they make up names and creatively take from current society... better then everyone being the same tired names.
