Oops. I didn’t realize her name actually was Natosha. What the heck was going on there?

Here in some parts of the backwoods South some white people come up with some very creative names for their kids. Years ago I knew a guy from Kentucky whose first name was Devil.

Probably named after this guy: Anderson “Devil Anse” Hatfield led his family in their notorious and bloody feud with the McCoys during the late 1800s along the Kentucky-West Virginia border.

They probably tried to speel Natasha phonetically so it was spoken with the “ah” sound not the short a sound.
