I think maybe what Pie was meaning is that the name is more popular with black people than white people, perhaps because Leona Lewis herself is black and may be seen as a role model for black people? Personally, I don't know anyone with the name so can't comment whether that's true but it makes sense to me. I don't think any offence was meant at all, I got the impression it was just an observation.
Sorry to jump in here and Pie feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
ETA - Obviously I'm only referring to the recent upsurge in popularity of the name since Leona Lewis has become famous.
