> Whitney Houston Jones is 24 and has 2 kids of her own.
Sorry about this, but this is the way my mind works: Whitney Houston Jones could not have been named after Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston Jones would have been conceived in 1978. Whitney Houston didn’t record her first album until 1986, so Whitney Houston Jones couldn’t have been conceived while a Whitney Houston song was playing.
SOMEONE NAMED THEIR DAUGHTER CLITORIS???
Those others are bad enough, but man…poor kid! I wonder if the parents knew what the word was, and how they heard it.

Can I ask a favor? Could you please name her Veronica? She could also be referred to as Ronnie if she had any friends.
It would be an appropriate ode to an odious wretch of a human being who lived in her pickup truck with her two maladjusted cats, and is the type of person to return the Christmas presents you’ve sent when she gets pissed off at you.

Any name that starts with “La”:
Lavonda
Lavelma
Laronda
Lawanda
Ladonna
In general, any name that is a “creative spelling” of a common name, that makes people wonder if the parents were trying to be original or were simply illiterate.

Apologies to any Lavondas, Lavelmas, Larondas, Lawandas, or Ladonnas out there…
Do you people have any idea just how mean and stupid you sound? And, please, coming from a poor white background yourself is no excuse.
Pipe down, LaVonda.
Lonesome, please don’t be offended. People often associate certain names with certain stereotypes (and usually because they met someone by that name who fit the stereotype).
I can understand calling us “mean and stupid” if I had asked just for the hell of asking, but there actually is a purpose.
No matter how you slice it, “white trash” and “trailer trash” are terms of contempt which, like “nigger,” “spick,” “kike” or “wop,” should not be used casually or thoughtlessly. The terms “poor white,” “low income white,” or “lower class white” would have expressed the same idea just as well without the connotations of ethnic and class bigotry.
All I want is the same courtesy and respect that would be shown anybody else. Okay?
Exactly! Unless you’re writing this for some mandatory class that you don’t care about (please, PLEASE, tell me that’s what you’re doing), a question like this is a really bad sign.
It’s really one of my pet peeves that so many so-called writers use stereotypes to tell their stories. Just letting the readers wallow in their own prejudices, they’re not providing any unique perspectives, so their projects are pointless. I mean, I already know that fat people like to eat boxes of donuts at a time, so what the hell do I need you and your character “Bertha” for?
