So I was chatting with a black lesbian Starbucks barista yesterday, and we were discussing some of the strange things that people name their children. I brought it up because there's a woman who works at that Starbucks named Lesbia, and I figured a grrl who dates grrls would have something to say about that.
She did.
"Well, that's not really that bad. I know another girl named NiCondoma and one named Clitora, too."
"No way!" I replied.
We decided that there should be someone who is employed by the various hospitals to slap the mommas when they say that's what they want to name their baby.
The woman I was talking with? Her name is Starkima. I said "Your name is at least different."
She replied. "My name is ghetto."
And the bad mood I had been in all afternoon, up to getting my coffee, promptly disappeared.
