This. The question is what type of people would choose those names.

For example, I’d be willing to bet money that black people with classical names do better in life than the ones with the “unique” spelling names, despite them both having the same skin, because it shows the attitudes of the parents and how the kids are growing up.

Wonder what Ketanji Brown Jackson would have to say about your opinion.

I think they genuinely don’t realize how dumb they look.

It could also be they were not particularly good students and don't know the proper spelling of particular name. In Freakanomics, they talk about how as a name grows more popular it works its way down socioeconomic classes until only the poors will touch it and that is when all the alternate spellings pop up. In Freakanomics he also writes about how names are often aspirational and people don't want to "steal" ideas from friends so they take them from someone in a higher social class in their orbit. I think this probably happened to us. We are UMC and our son has a classic name with a classic but rarely used nickname. Our mail carrier used it a few years later with his son. I found this out by accident when I met his wife and baby in the ballet waiting room. She called him by the same nickname we call ours. She said her husband suggested the name and then I realized she was the wife of our mail carrier.

You have no idea the magnitude of discrimination and the ignorance that comes with being melanated, let alone, having a uniquely spelled name but still we rise. Your hate will never stop this glow, not in a million years, it actually makes it brighter. We are flattered that you are constantly thinking about us though.🥰
