What's in a name? challenge...

[Peasie]

So Peas2, age 21, falls in love regularly with all kinds of girls and women since he hit age 13 . I have liked them all. Since age 18, he has fallen in love with very serious women his age and I do admire the qualities he looks for in these women ... <span style="font-style: italic">aldoah him ten to like big bress ooman </span>

Today, his &quot;Mom-I-Think-This-Is-The-One&quot; is coming to visit with us for a week. I met her earlier in the summer and she is a lovely person - rock solid, deep thinker, strong family ties, sweet, caring, in college, planning for law school after .

So what is my challenge? Well, shi name &quot;LaShaniqua&quot; <span style="font-style: italic">not her real name of course, but close </span>

Am I a name snob?

Re: What's in a name? challenge...

Yes you're a name snob but so am I

Hush focus on all her nice qualities

Re: What's in a name? challenge...

And is not, I hasten to add, that it is about names from other countries. It's just these <span style="font-style: italic">made-up</span> names

I guess it would be like, say, in Jamaica your son comes home with a girl named <span style="font-style: italic">Peaches </span>

Keep in mind the poor girl did not name herself so anybody judgement in question its her parents and you can't pick those either, so low har. I read about some man who experimented on his children and named one &quot;Winner&quot; and the other &quot;Loser&quot; Loser turned a cop and Winner a criminal so there you go!

Embrace you name snob peasie and pray seh she have a pet name or miggle name you like

Seriously though embrace her qualities and love her

From a job point of view though I would not be surprised if she have her resume read L. Patricia Surname in the future since there is such discrimination in names.

a dat my niece born in the afro days does
