A tangent, sort of:

Something I’ve wondered about certain demographic groups is why those groups routinely give their kids such “unusual” names. Some, like that of the chick in the post, are weirdly punctuated. A great many others feature certain obligatory prefixes. There’s also a high percentage who give their kids Arabic names, which is a little odd considering the traditional disdain many Arabs show for non-Arabs who appropriate “their” names.

Just idle curiosity. Maybe I should swear off coffee for a while? LOL

Anybody with a weird name is sentenced to a lifetime of correcting pronunciation I feel for them. .
