Could You Get A Callback With A Moniker Like That?

I got this in my inbox yesterday. My nerves are still trying to come down.


From the email:

So I was going through my cell phone, deleting pictures before I transferred stuff to my new phone, and I found this picture of some names from my cousin's high school graduation program in good ol' Houston, Texas...I don't think I need to point out the winner of most hood-tastic name. The people around us took bets on if the announcer could pronounce her damn name....they lost.



I'm not gonna front; I got my giggle on to this, but since we're essentially at the end of 2007 and it's all about kicking out the old and bringing in the new, THIS SH*T RIGHT HERE ^ MUST CEASE! It's painfully apparent that for LaTraumaukkah's parents, creativity was never the idea. They have mistaken utter ridiculousness for innovation. I'm not saying Anglo names are the way to go...I don't have an Anglo name myself, but I do know that treating a child's identity like a game of Boggle gives them obstacles right out of the gate. Now why you wanna go and do that?
