I'm a traditionalist who tends towards names from one side of the family or where you live. I'm the latter, I'm not white but I have a French name because I was born in France (and to date nobody there can pronounce my Far Eastern grandparents names so even they don't use them) I don't think it's racist to think this.
Joining us this week at work is a white girl with a very Japanese first name. She talks a lot, both sides of her family are native to the UK and as far as she knows all of them are from one of these islands. She's not the first; the black women I've met have had even wackier ones, some of which barely make any sense in the language they're supposedly from (one girl from a college job in my final year was literally called "Pheasant" in Igbo).
Seriously. The fuck is it with naming your kids after a blonde ho on a fantasy series who rides dragons or after fugs you saw in a shitty 00's vampire romance.
Maybe I'm just a bigot.
