I used to work with a black woman years ago named Melon. No joke. She was a super nice lady and people just called her Mel.

Myrtle was my grandmother’s name. She hated it because everyone called her “Myrtle the turtle.”

My aunts and uncles all had unusual names, as did their kids (my cousins).
They were all named after ancestors, and my aunt and uncle’s parents though.
Boots, Jeeter, Evola, etc.

Aylish could have siblings named Deelish, Churlish, and (the black sheep of the family) English.

When we were naming our kids, my wife said it needs to be a name they can find on mini license plates at the tourist trap stores ...
Or on Coke bottles.

Thats perfect! Lol
I enjoy subbing, but calling roll is not my favorite part. I only subbed in prek through 5th grades. Those children stare at you waiting for you to mess up a name so they can snicker and correct you when you mess up a tricky name. They were usually shocked when I got all the Hispanic names right. They would ask how I did it. Well, I lived in Tucson for years and learned some things. Then they wanted to know how I was able to pronounce some of the creative spelling names of certain ethnicities. Well, Im from Mississippi. And sometimes the teacher would put the pronunciation next to the name on a special roll created for subs. It is always an adventure!

And you dont see a lot of Nebuchadnezzars, Haggais, or Abednegos either. Years ago on the Macy's bridal registry list, the couple ahead of us had a groom named Nebuchadnezzar Stamps.

I have a better idea: Read your Bible. Find names there.
Yeah, I was thinking of naming my kid 'Methuselah'.

Fad names are just that... there is a pig in the pipeline of Danica from the early that woman’s racing career. A name I never heard before now seems the 2 or 3 in every grade from 3-6th these days.

Then there is the former Governor of Texas named HOGG who is said to have named his daughters IMA HOGG, URA HOGG, SHESA HOGG.
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar; Lazamataz
Ima Hogg was her father's only daughter. As for the aptness of her name ...
Yeah. We all know exactly what Laz would do.

I always thought if I were a rapper, I would take the name Brownie Skidmark.

Shaniqua is still in the running.
My black children used to use it as code.
“That cashier thought I was some sort of Shaniqua!”
