Why consign yourkids to a lifetime of spelling their names?

A friend of the family's sister (white) married a serviceman (black muslim) and they named their kids after colors Turquoise and Indigo (sp?).

Maybe Ms. Goode should have named her daughter Isabell Mary. Then she could just go by her initials I. M. Goode. It would help her self esteem and, Sheila Jackson Lee would get her wish of having blacks named after hurricanes (or vice versa).

Believe me, I am not mocking anyone's choice of names. Just think it through. I have friends who named their children Graeme Garrett, and Garrett Antony (plus a hard to pronounce last name that has a joke in it.)

No offense meant, but if she was married why would she be "Ms. Goode"?

If we want our children to be professionals they need not be named "Prescot", but Sequoia Branch (my youngest's preschool classmate) is not a true alternative.

"Isabell Mary"

I like that, it's a nice name. Not sure how black it is, but very Cath-o-lique, as my mom-in-law says humourously.
