That radio ad by the NAACP or whoever says that when somebody points out some outlandish made-up name for a black kid, I’m supposed to say, “I don’t know what you mean.”

My aunt had a customer in her bank fifty years ago with the name “Female,” pronounced fem-MOL-lee.

I knew a lady in New York who knew a lady whose name was pronounced you-REEN.

When I was a kid we were so poor, they cut holes in my pockets so I would have something to play with.

I must be from the same generation because I experienced the same thing and know the feeling.

Who knows how far he will go. Would you have bet much on someone called Barack going far?

A few years ago, there was a woman in DC who killed one of her kids. The courts said that she was depressed and she was returned to her family. It didn’t get any better. Her name: Latrina.

I once met an Irish girl who walked with a limp.

I asked her name.

She said "Eileen".

I said "I see that but what's your name?"

Now I walk with a limp.

I have an ongoing Word document entitled "Names", where I collect the names from moments like you had. Unfortunately, I had to start my list over again a few months ago because my computer died. Here is the current list:

Mondray, Shervondala, Marterrius, Dveil, Lacedarius, Glenterius, Credale, Demonstrius, Jamarvin, Oterrence, Eutisha, LaAdrian

Years ago my mother told of having a yound student in one of her classes named Female (Jones - or some other last name - doesn’t really matter) - turns out the poor kid’s mother had received the birth certificate from the hospital with the child listed as “female” and thought the hospital had given the girl that name - so the mother just made it official when the time came.....

As many times as I have seen this story I would tend to dismiss it as urban legend.

But I saw it happen myself in the hospital where my Son was born.

A black baby with a very lazy mother.
I honestly knew a black guy named Darvon because thats what they gave Mom after she birthed him to relax her spasms.
