Yeah, I always just thought the Africanized names were pretentious when the person was obviously born in this country. There are plenty of pretentious Euro-ized white names, too.
I just thank gawd my parents didn't name me "Rudiger Bartholemew Thurston III" (as if there was a "I" or a "II"...)
"There are plenty of pretentious Euro-ized white names, too."
Went to school with a kid named "Banister Earl . . "
Just so y'all know, I have two aliases.
One is Roberta Griswold.
The other is Muffy Lopez.
