Very Pissed, Black names/White names...Is there a such thing?

Ladies check this out, this really pissed me off:
I'm a Black female named Amy, yes its rare but we do exsist! LOL  My husband is named Patrick which I guess can go either way.  My question is; is there a such thing as a black name and a white name?  My neighbor that lives above me (white lady) asked "oh have you picked out a name yet?"  I told her the only thing we've been able to come up with so far has been Chancellor.  She looked at me and said "that's a white name isnt it?"  I was so offended that I gave her a snotty look and walked off.  She spoke to me again this morning but I didnt even speak back.  As I think about it, it seems kind of silly, and because I'm bigger than the bullsh*t I will speak to her again but I do feel the need to ask her what makes a name a color?  Do any of you ladies know?
