Airwickka. How the hell do you slaughter Erica that badly? Also, I grew up in a school district that bordered on the hood, so living in the midwest is odd. There are all these old white ladies with names like Dontrelle and Sha'nice and Latoya. I hear someone say that they're waiting on Dontrelle and then Dontrelle show up and she a 50 year old with a bad perm whose pale as hell. You grow up associating a name with a certain ethnicity to see someone the polar opposite of that with the same name is odd. It's like meeting a pale Suraj Patel.

Istari posted:The son and the 3 babies who died were all given the same name. I am given to understand that back when child mortality was a lot higher, this was a fairly common practice. I know it happened a few generations back in my family, where there were several kids all given the same name because they kept dying. It's like people wanted to troll future genealogists or something.

But I always thought it was one of those practices that had died out because it's morbid.

Another one I should have posted ages ago. My roommate is adopted and his middle name is Trevathan, which I've never seen anywhere else. He goes by Trevor.

Virginia's a long way from "Long Iss-land" when you don't have a car. Apparently one of the Jersey Shore idiots now has a kid named Meilani. This annoyed me until I realized I was reading celebrity "news" and, well, I have only myself to blame for that.

I know a girl who is of Italian heritage who named her kid "Laciana " First, it's not even a real Italian name. Second, she pronounces it "lay-see-AH-nuh," when (if it even was an Italian name) it should be pronounced "lah-chee-AH-nuh." Third, it sounds like a porn name. Funny thing is, her mom is an attorney and is actually pretty intelligent otherwise.

I vaguely recall in elementary school that we had some class thing where we were supposed to ask our parents what our names mean, where they come from and/or why did we get those names. For us this was easy, since everyone was named John, Michael, Jennifer, Anna and so forth and all we needed to say was "I was named after my grandma" or "This name is hebrew for 'stone'" or whatever and that was that. What are kids with these names going to say for that sort of thing?

My mother said that I was pretty like a ruby, but she didn't want me to have a name like all the other kids, so she made it Rubi instead.
