If you don’t follow a current issue for 20 years you don’t know it.

You said I "don’t know anything about basketball or peoples (sic) names". Basketball is far more than NBA. I personally prefer watching grade school and high school basketball. Most of the kids aren't jerks. Except these guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6v-bW6wxoY

You seemed to think the name was Dwayne although it is spelled Dwyane. Did you notice that someone else called you on it? By your Wyoming example, it would be pronounced Dwy-ane, yet other people tell me it is Duh-wane. So how would YOU pronounce it with your language skills? Would it be Dwy-ane even though it is Duh-wane?

Jayqucea was a very nice girl, and I resent you implying that she (or her name) was from the gutter. And THEN you tell me that I want human creativity to be stifled by calling it a gutter name?? Sounds racist. I didn't ask you to defend her name but to maybe see if you knew some Gaelic origin, since, being 3/4 Irish, I would be interested.

I don't mind people making up names, but it would help if they would include a phonetic pronunciation in parentheses. My wife had a friend who named her son Ju-Juan (Joo-ahn), not (Joo-joo-un) or (Woo-wahn). Or then there's young Jayqucea (Jock-see). See how helpful that is?

So, the NBA guy needs to tell me if it's Dwyane (Dwy-ane), according to your Wyoming rule, or Dwyane (Duh-wane) according to his fans? Another one is Brett (Brett) Favre (Farve). I knew a guy named Favre (Fov-ruh). And another guy named Favre (Fov-ray). As in Raymann. I knew a guy named Pecot (Pea-cot) whose brother's name was Pecot (Peck-oh).

I'm not about to crawl into a hole. The world is too fascinating. I mean, just names alone make it all worth doing.
