Unfortunately has been used as a real name and... it shouldn't. I'd like it if it wasn't a racial slur as it gives me images of carnivals and gemstones and crystal balls and probably smells like lavender and jasmine scented incense sticks. I recognise those associations are probably bad stereotypes, but in a vacuum, they're pluses in favour of a name.
I still have her, but I had gotten a stuffed black cat with this name on her collar when I was very young, on holiday to Blackpool. Suppose I should change hr name, but I'm unlikely to remember an official change now that I'm 26.
It's a very... 1970s choice of a name I think, one that is relatively uninformed but existed in a time of changing ideals; as in travellers (also known as "Gyppos" to my racist older relatives) I think became less of a bad image during the "make peace and not war man" era, and I think the nomadic lifestyle had an appeal to these young fresh hippies. Naming their kids this probably came from more of an acceptance angle than a racist one - at the time at least. Now there's no excuse!
