Some unmarried mom thought ‘Urina’ sounded like a lovely name for a girl. She had already chose the name Def’Icatto for her firstborn, a son. It sounded ‘Italian’ so she thought. The Nurse could not bring herself to put that spelling (Urina) on the birth certificate, so she changed it to Urena. “Mom” was furious, but got over it.//

People of color: eloquent descriptor.
Colored people: racist terminology
