“Pamela” wasn’t an unusual name for a black woman 30-plus years ago. (Example - actress Pam Grier)
Not buying the reincarnation story, though... Kids are imaginative. Grownups tend to add their own meanings to what kids say sometimes.
Yeah, I was joking of course. But it just strikes me that for all of the we’re united and we’re in this together, they seem to want to divide us any way they can. It seems people like to pretend they are what they are not. Americans give themselves ethnic sounding names, people like to pretend they’re somebody long dead and gone, they pretend they’re women when they’re men, etc.
It’s like some mass psychosis has infected the world and everybody wants to live in some fantasy land where anything is possible.
Anyway, I guesd I’d better change my name to Coinneach Aethelred Seowulf and be an Anglo-Celtic invader.
