Re: should some jamaican parishes be re-named?

dem could start by renaming St. Catherine to "St. Bun Man" in honor of Andrew from One-Order crew whey rule Spain Town.
St. James could be remane "St. Squatters"
St. Ann can be called "St AIDS"
Westmoreland = "Rent-a-dreadland" or Cougarville

Kingston could be renamed "St. Zeeks" and so on...

Renaming places after towns and regions in West Africa where a lot of the enslaved Africans brought to Jamaica is one way forward. Maybe even West African kings, dynasties or heroes

It would serve to link the ties to where our ancestors originated and how to trace our villages and region even families.

I think less association with that would be better. If we are going to change names I say give it forward to the original peoples from whom it was stolen.
