As a retired HS teacher I had my share of black sounding names, and don't you dare mispronounce them. The funniest was a girl named Spontaneous. What was her mother thinking?

" The funniest was a girl named Spontaneous. What was her mother thinking?"

A friend of mine became a third grade teacher in FL in the early nineties. One year during the first parent-teacher conferences in the fall, there was one conference where the mother stared oddly when he referred to her daughter as "Virginia - this," or "Virginia - that," etc.

Finally the mother declared, "Her name ain't Virginia, her name be VAGINA!" ("Oh. I apologize....")

True story.
