Some white folks do a disservice to their kids with the names they give their kids. Names mean things. I saw a bunch of cards with kids names on them at a store. Some were real names with their meanings printed under them. There were other popular made up names that had suggestions for meanings so you can lie to your kids and make them feel special.

I worked with an older White gentleman in Florida and for three years I called him Glen because that's what everyone else called him. One day he started telling a story about his childhood and turns out Glen is his nick name, his real name was Harvey. We all got a chuckle out of the fact that we never heard "Glen" as a nickname. Then he said, "if you think that's funny my older brother never uses his real name". We asked and he replied that his brother's name is Cletus. Of course we fell out laughing. Just goes to show you odd names come in all colors.

Many years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were introduced to another couple seated behind them at a ballgame. The man's name was Will Dye (or Die) and his wife was Eva May.
