This thread got me thinking of a guy I knew back in the 70's. Moved out of state and I haven't heard about him in decades now. Last name was, "Case" and he always said if he ever had a son he wanted to name him, " Justin". ...... Seriously. That would be interesting.

Dad used to talk about a couple of young Negro boys, brothers, in the little town he grew up in, everyone called, Sparkplug, and, Defferential...and yes, their dad was a local car mechanic.

What I've been seeing more and more of of late is Caucasian parent(s) giving their kids pretty much normal sounding names and generally pronounced as such but spelled all kinds of crazy ways.

Back in the old rotary dial phone days when I was a kid, we used to prank call the hell out of a guy in the phone book named Harry Bonar.
