BS! They see the black person in the room with a huge neon sign above their head saying "BEWARE, PC MINEFIELD!".
No that is not true. My black daughters tell me that they are totally invisible in all white settings.
Ellie, Allie, Abby, Addie, Andie, Essie.
It's as if 6 years ago all letters of the alphabet other than A, L, I, E, D, S and B disappeared. I can't keep them straight.
Asa Yoelson = Al Jolson
I suppose you heard she was fired from her new nursing job in the ICU?
There was too much laughter when she answered the phone, "Picabo, ICU".
Okay...one more for you. Took riding lessons with a girl named Wenbe (rhymes with Wendy). We asked her how she was named as it was a different name and she said it was the combination of her mother's and father's names which were Wendell and Betty.
Someone cracked that she was lucky her name wasn't Bedell. Turns out that's what they named her brother!
True story.
Not THE Earnest Buford!!!!! OMG!
I dunno.... Newt did OK.
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

About 30 years ago, I knew a man named "Leslie"
I have been doing my genealogy and found soem interesting names in the list...my favorite is Tangwistl...a Welsh name...my son has informed me that if he ever becomes a parent he wants to name his son Thrond...after an early ancester...we can only hope he forgets before the happy day.
I went to grade school with a kid named Noble Justice. Family name goin' way back. From West Virginia. Also know two Spurgeons. Not related. Don't know each other. And both nicknamed Spud! I find these old names quite interesting, But not as interesting as the Cleveland twin girls Gundarena and Gundarhetta.
If your first and middle name is "John Wayne" you are destined to be a serial killer at worst and a drugstore cowboy at best. Remember, the real John Wayne was named Marion Michael.
If your name is Bruce or Lance, you are destined to shop at Pottery Barn and vacation in Mykonos.
It really makes you wonder about doctors and names. My dog went to a vet practice run by Drs. Chase and Bounds. Always had a chuckle about that.
That's OK, non-whites known any white guy with the name "Wayne" is probably white trash.
Good one. I used to work for the IRS and once came across the first name Tangerine.
Whittaker Chambers' real name was Vivian (but it may have been his middle name). No wonder he decided to call himself something else.
Bet she was drinking it mixed with coke (Coca Cola type coke)
Actually what has developed from the blacks naming their kids those crazy names that no one can pronounce....is that it has made it easy to racially profile...pick up any paper and look at the crimes committed..and tell me how hard it is to figure out the ones committed by black's..
I know a lovely young woman named Katharine with an A. I asked why she wasn't Katherine with an E. She, this was when she was 9, said she was named after Katharine of Aragon. I loved her for that and still do.
I like classic names,,Elizabeth, Ann, Mary, Jane.
And any mom who names her daughter Brandy ought to be horse whipped.
That's a good one, but I had a blackJack dealer at the Horseshoe in Shreveport named Areola... yes, HIS name was Areola.
