[Opinions] Re: Calpurnia
in reply to a message by ACL
I couldn't hear the name without thinking of the TKAM character, so it would be a challenge to look past that. And okay, I'm just gonna say it: it would sound weird on white child, just because it is SO TIED to that character. But I guess you could get used to any name if you know a person long enough.

Man, thank God I'm biracial so I don't have to worry if I'm naming my kids after a black or white person.
But in all seriousness, it's not like it's like Keisha which is historically African-American.

Funny...I almost responded to Billina with a post about how, years ago, I knew a little white girl named Keisha. She was a classmate of my daughter's and was an annoying little snot. I always thought that her name sounded strange on a white girl. I thought better of posting it because I thought it might be a little racially sensitive, but now that you mention the name, I throw caution to the winds.
I didn't mean to offend you. Sorry.
