I suppose she has a sister named Cinderella, Bambi, or Snow Whi... (Okay, NOT that one); or a brother named Flubber?
Well, do you remember Royko’s column on that? The one he had to take back and later apologize for?
You should read up on the name La-a for more entertainment.
Names like that occur more frequently in the black community. It’s a cultural thing. In Chicago’s 7th District a black candidate named Princess Dempsey was challenged because many outside her community thought the name “Princess” gave her an unfair advantage on the ballot, especially since it was an acquired rather than a birth certificate name. She won that challenge because, among other things, the judge rightly recognized the cultural tone-deafness of such claims.
If the name itself isn’t unusual, the spellings can be varied as a way to identify with a unique cultural niche, to form a bond of group identification. Don’t infer that it means the same thing within that group that it seems to mean outside the group. Outsiders are not expected to “get it.”
