As a teacher in an urban middle school, my brother had his fair share of oddly named children. One was, I swear, "Crystal Shanda Lear".
The things parents do to their kids.
The daughter of Bill Lear, developer of the Lear Jet, really is named Shanda. She is a lovely lady and a beautiful singer.
This whole thread reminds me of the line in the movie "Coach Carter," when one pregnant high school girl, who was black, is chided by her friend when she ran down some names for her baby (such as Laquisha, etc.). The friend said, "Why don't you just name her Food Stamps?!"
