Aptonyms

[Tonchi]

I went to high school with a boy named Peter Raper. Why do people stick a name like that on an innocent child? Even in North Carolina, which has more than its share of strange names?

Ask the boy named Sue.

But then such names don't challenge the named as much as names challenge others. They are really a challenge for you. Do you take an emotional or 'thereby hateful' impression? Or do you take the person as a person? IOW people with such unusual names are how you discover whether you either are a racist (someone who makes decisions based upon first impressions), or are a superior person. Yes, the name is amusing. But if it anything more than amusing, then you met the criteria also called racist - judging others only based upon emotional (first) impression.

'Sue' simply demonstrates how many somehow know only because they feel. We call that racism. We also have other names for what is really hate.
