With a name like that, it's a wonder the poor kid ever passes kindergarten. How'd you like to have to learn to spell a name like that at 6 years old.
Neat website. I typed in Ruby Begonia and got back "Mahamid". I can see that relationship and why you would want to trade Ruby Begonia for Mahamid. Next time I meet a Ruby Begonia I will say "Hi,Mahamid."
My Grandmother on my father's side from North Carolina was born in 1899. Her middle name was Omega.
You're mistaking race for culture. Ridiculous, faux-African names bespeak a culture; dark skin does not. The culture one associates with such names is not one that values education or industry. A child named Quieshianiquita is not going to set the world on fire.
If it weren't for the Hoggs, the Placentas, the Lemonandorangejellos and the Shi'theads, this thread would have 38 replies on it.
My GreatX2 Grandpa was P.P.Pratt. (I just cleaned up this post to make sure I dont get accused of bashing).
Wake up, Little Suzie!
MY Snoozy Suzie is a real doozie!
Wouldn't have been married to her for going on 25 years, if she wasn't.
I thought it was odd that she specifically mentioned IBM. As an employee I can tell you they are over the top with thei "diversity" stuff.
As an aside, Leslie Howard ( the actor you are talking about ), was a Brit, but of Hungarian descent and his real name was Lajos; pronounced LIoush.

Is Erotica Fallopia's niece; or is she Nosmo King's cousin?
I'm sorry, but you sound bigoted.
One has no control over the name one is given at birth. If you judge someone based upon that premise, you are bigoted. At some point in history, even your name was strange.
My name happens to be Hebrew, so to all the "jew haters" of the world, I am unemployable - that is just ridiculous.
Why are girls named Brandi generally hussies? Usually Cherrie too. I think it's the mother's who name them, basically raise girls that way.
There are exceptions of course. Just saying.
Okay, regarding your list on #664, what are the *'s for?
Whether you like it or not, the world judges people on things like a given name. "Sharon Jones" will be treated differently than "L'Shonda Jones". You may not like this, but your feelings won't change reality.
"FReepers love to talk about black folks, esp. when it's all bad."
Cy, you really haven't read the posts, lots of humor here to go around, for all kinds. The Mormons in particular seem to be coming in for it.
There had to be a Miss Jane Howlin who married Mr. John Wolf. Right?
There was an epidose of 'Cheers' where Carla had similar rules about naming a child and in her case the child was supposed to be named Benito Mussolini. LOL
