I understand that black names come from a unique cultural identity. I completely understand what the lady in the blue is saying. I do think that taking the time to learn how to pronounce someone’s name is just common cutesy . refusing to and claiming that it’s a particular cultural identities issue for not choosing easy to pronounce names is a odd thing.
I had a lady call me a racist because I told her that her hair looked nice. She told me that was micro aggressive or something like that and that it’s a form of racism. She said I’d be better off just not looking at her or speaking to her.
I saw a young man the other day and his hair was so stinking cute, but I didn't say anything in fear of offending him. My daughter teaches sunday school and she had a little girl in her class with big beautiful hair but she didn't say how pretty it was in fear of offending.

People who don't know history and the actual details are disillusioned, blind, and reduced. Your conclusion is really good. I just subscribed to see where this goes, interesting stuff.
I know two black ladies, one named Beatrice and the other Deborah. Instead of pronouncing it how we'd normally pronounce them, instead it's "Bee-ah-triss" and "De-boor-ah". Both get mad when someone mispronounces it too even if it's there first time meeting them and regardless of the fact that no one else ever pronounces either name that way.
I am from laos and my name gave me a hard time in school like bullying and the teacher who was an English teacher couldn't even Pronounce my name ..somsanouk..so both black and white teachers couldn't Pronounce my name so they decided to call me Sam for short in elementary..growing up was hard..
I don’t know how it’s pronounced, but it looks like it would sound like a great name. I live in a pretty multicultural country, so I am exposed to lots of different names, but I still feel a bit ignorant about so many other cultures of the world. I think it’s just courtesy to get someone’s name right, even if it takes a bit of practice.
They used to put foreign names in our learning to read books, 'biff and chip picked up a spoon, they gave it to Zariytrianien (I made that up and you can clearly tell from the fact I used sounds we actually use)'. The problem with foreign languages is that they commonly use sounds that are not natural in the language of other people's, many of these are very hard for linguists to mimic, for most people part of their accent will be the inability to get those sounds right. East Asians are probably wise to pick English names for use in that language, so long as George, John and Arther rather than toothpaste, incontinence and Mussolini.

It's frustrating to an extreme amount, especially at a party, new job, or other time with meeting groups of people.
Thank you! for saying how this bullshit minimizes the real racism that still occurs. I'll share my story. I am the only child with a Japanese background in a predominantly Chinese neighborhood in Canada. My parents were never invited to functions with other parents even though I was friends with the kids and we even did extracurriculars together, I was the only kid that had to leave parties and such early because their parents/grandparents were arriving home, this is not to mention all the small shit like being told my country is dying; being called hiroshima; or saying "how jap of you" when I would lash out. All of this and these same kids would ask me about the latest volumes of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece because I was the only person who could read Japanese.
fun fact, latin america has something similar with these names, in venezuela namely usually having names bldended from mother and father like horangel (horacio + angel) but other more international regions have hispanicized words as names, like "yusneibi" (US Navy) or juan jondre (one hundred)
She was probably told that information in college or uni, let’s be real! 😂 As a black woman who grew up in the UK, I have a European name (French to be exact), and *NOBODY* but my French teacher or people who speak French, can get my name right first try! That ish would genuinely annoy tf outta me as a kid and teenager and it’s still an annoyance to today because, it keeps happening and will happen until the day I die… Probably afterwards too at my funeral.🤦🏾♀️ I’ve been said I agree with that white woman because I can speak from firsthand experience and know exactly what she’s getting at, it’s not racist at all; it’s facts! The only good thing about my name is that my dad is the one that named me😂

Non related to topic, but an interesting name I came across. I came across all kinds of names due to my work. One of the more interesting one I've seen is a family of siblings with the SAME 1st name and different middle name. Their 1st name were something like "King", and than middle name is any regular 1st name. It's creative, every time our nurses call them up, they have to address them as KING and than their name cause the nurse has to make sure they are addressing the correct patient.
When I was in high school, there were a fair amount of kids from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. All of the ones that were born over there and came here had trouble saying my name because there is no V in their language. They had to actually make a conscious effort to pronounce it David. If they just said my name without really thinking about it, they would pronounce it like Daywid. Then yeah like you said, a lot of them had names that were difficult for American born kids to pronounce properly.
You can't find any laquandisha before 1970. My great grandmother was named Lucille. Four men in my family are named Robert. The trend came from the bastardization of names learned from Africa and Arab. Even many names like Rochelle and Marquis are from French, but pronounced in a more English way.
My real name is Shaniqua. My dad said he had no idea it was considered “ghetto” til years later. BUT that doesn’t mean I haven’t faced the consequences of that name. Do you know how many people have straight up refused to have me over based off my name? How many job applications that weren’t taken seriously because of my name and the stereotype behind a name like mine. I used to want to change my name so badly because of the stereotype behind it and I never wanted to be grouped in that stereotype. I’m 29 and have decided to keep my name but I do insist people call me Shanny. I’ve been called racist or hating part of my race because of it. No, I’ve just lived an entire life with that name and I understand the negative consequences because of my name
Like when they said "Master bedroom" was because slave owner were "Masters" when in fact it had Absolutely nothing to do with that. Its Sears that used that term in one of their catalogue to name the large second floor bedroom. Like you say they rewrite history and young people that dont know better will think its true and will repeat that lie to everyone. Love Trapper videos but also those more phylosophical/educational ones. ❤ Also i will give you money for New headphones if i want to youre not my mom !! 😂
First I want to start off by saying I agree with you and applaud you for taking up these conversations as they are needed. Also malcolm x has amazing interview soeaking on these false prohets you speak of. The fact that these people use racist so often for everything is makes the word utterly numbing and useless. The problem with the black community is that their ties with their African ancestry was severed when they were brought to america or transported anywhere outside the continent which isnt surprising consodering their captors didnt speak their language nor cared about their culture. These people claiming that these names are from swalihi or any other eastern african country are just plain wrong from the jump. Almost 90% percent of all slaves came from the east coast were they would have spoken igbo, woloof, yoruba, etc. Most people have no idea about where slaves came from due to lack of self education the biggest threat to our community. Most of these wild names come from ignorance and lack of education in general which has plagued the black community heavily since their arrival in america. Thing is you can only make excuses for so long before you have to start holding your community accoutable. The historian is absolutely correct. There's a reason pan africanism didnt ever work no matter hard some very prominent black leaders pushed for it. Blacks tried to grasp for many ties back to africa but its a very futile thing to do when you actaully learn that africa houses over 1000 plus languages and countless cultures, itd be improbable to figure out where in africa you exactly came from without your ancestors keep super thorough records which very few if any did. While the white lady in the video is correct, her delivery is terrible, with anyone its not hard to politely ask the correct way to say someones name. The woman recording is just plain wrong. She knows dang well that if name your kid some crazy you can't be mad. She then stated slavery bs just to win the argument with someone who probably had no clue at all about slavery. *Off topic here but.... It isnt slavery on its own thats had the lasting effects or generational damage(trauma is over used) but the system america built and thats facts. To simply state that there should no longer be any remnants of chatel slavery today is false. This isnt a victim mentality but facts. Yes blacks in america havent done the best at holding itself accountable for things, but you cant discount the inarguable fact that america has been racist specifically towards blacks for way longer than it hasn't. For instance in 2028 it'll be 60 years since blacks gained true first class citizenship. Prior to that America spent a whooping 192 years being openly racist making countless laws and loopholes to disparage blacks. Lastly just because an ignorant person uses phrase use negate the meaning of said phrase. Epigenetics is actually a more accurate description of why these generational damages exist in present day. Thing about humans is that some recover and hurdle over these roadblocks and others unfortunately falter and this is with any issue in life addiction and mental health works in the same way. Again thank you for having these talks my guy you really need a podcast for this shit though. Also why don't you have a members section yet, let us support you broski!!!!
why can other races such as middle east, Asian, European, East Asian have unique names that aren't disrespected or seen as inappropriate or "unhirable". But then when black people have unique names it is memed and deemed ghetto? why is that?
Because these ‘unique’ names are entirely fabricated and have no relationship to anything historic aside from ghetto culture. If you actually watched and understood the video you would know this.
If I hear someone called a racist, I automatically assume they just ticked of the right people and are probably good person. I don't feel that way about actual racists, but the word almost never gets used to actually point them out.
I'm from Nigeria and both white and black Americans as well as any other group that is not my particular ethnicity mispronounces my name all the time even though my last name is just four letters. I think black people started giving their children unique names that were a combination of African groups they descended from, Native Americans they were mixed with and Europeans they were mixed with especially Spanish and French hence the "La" that is frequently found at the beginning of the name. Someone should really trace the origins of names in the black American community instead of turning it into another divisive topic or polemic.
In Chinese communities we tend to give our child an American/English name as the first name for integration purposes, second name in Chinese for heritage purposes.
Mant do, many dont. But even if everyone did judging exclusively black for refusing to to assimilate to european naming standards is literally based on a superiority complex and lack of respect. I better not ever here a Qiang Zhang talking crap about Laquisha lol
I'm Indonesian but I am wondering why do you guys hate "ghetto" names like "Aliyah, Demetrius, Xavier, Ashanti etc."? those are common name for me. like Aliyah is Arabic, Demetrius is a saint, Ashanti is an empress name. Don't hate me, I am genuinely asking question.
I’ve never judged for any mispronunciation of my name even though I think it’s quite easy to say cause sometimes it’s just because of someone’s accent that they can’t say it right, like I’ve been to a few South African doctors and they pronounce my name moisin or moysin rather than Mason and it’s just cause their accent, I find it funny though😂
As a guy with a 11 letter 1st name. It's a common name, most used a shorten version of it when referring to you. How ever it's easy to pronounce. I'd pay this lady to name one 15 letter name let alone 20+. It's not even the length of it It's what you're used to. Icelandic words in America can be a drinking game.

Ahhh my cashapp might just be bugged/broken!! It’s perfectly fine tho! :) I appreciate you for tuning in! Super glad to know you’ve been enjoying the videos!!! Don’t even worry about it!
You pretty much summed up the ENTIRE history on given names. Not sure about the "missed the mark" comment though, because African-Americans are essentially doing what other cultures have done with given names: Take a name from one culture (or multiple rather), and create a variation of it to fit their own culture. It isn't "missing the mark". It's just creating a variation of it. Example: Marcus, an English name, is one of many names derived from the name "Mark", which in turn is derived from the Latin name "Mart-kos".
i never realized how much of a chokehold musical artist had on plp until i stopped listening to music with lyrics they fr think they know them and relate to them and would defend them with their life (taylor swift ) just cuz u like their music don’t mean u gotta idolize them n do all that just appreciate their work n move on 💀
This is a great video. The only thing I would input is that these are false teachers, not prophets. Prophets are supposed to have a direct line of communication with God himself. Like Jeremiah in the Bible. False prophets are claiming to hear something directly from God that is not true. These people in the video are sending out false messages. Making them false teachers.
Brother is the same everywhere is just some ghetto stuff, in venezuela youll see names like winkelson yonaikel or yuribitzaida when theres plenty of normal names like Maria, Perla, Carla, etc, its the same thing.
10 or 15 years ago seeing the word "racism" in a headline or videotitle would always draw my attention, but nowadays when I see it I just assume someone said the N-word in 2009.
An easy way to disprove that narrative: if we struggle to pronounce a word/name, there is very little chance that a person would be able to spell it. So let's say a child was sold into slavery and the parent wants to track the child down. As an example, lets say this childs name is Shondiqua; if I hear that name spoken and I'm barely literate, like most people in the past, I wouldn't be able to spell that name (this person might write it as Shondekwa, Shondikwah, etc) to write it down accurately. How are you supposed to track a child with a unique name if every time it is written down, it is written differently? I'm pretty sure slavers wouldn't take the time to ask the slave how to spell their name because they saw them as a utility, a tool, not a person. My Christian name is easy. It is Martyn, and yet people pronounce it in various weird ways. And these are people with the same ancestry as I have, but the spelling of my name is much older than the typical spelling: Martin, so most people aren't familiar with it.
To those who may not think this is a big deal: This woman is very comfortable manipulating the truth and using the TRAUMA of black people to win a mere argument. This is a slippery slope.
Bonus note: I think folks have the right to name their kid however they please! No matter WHAT you name your child, somebody somewhere will have a difficult time pronouncing it. Always be mindful of this.

All of this and these same kids would ask me about the latest volumes of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece because I was the only person who could read Japanese.
fun fact, latin america has something similar with these names, in venezuela namely
usually having names bldended from mother and father like horangel (horacio + angel)
but other more international regions have hispanicized words as names, like "yusneibi" (US Navy) or juan jondre (one hundred)
Another banger per usual, let’s keep it going !!
The black names serve a valuable purpose for those in hiring positions, loan application officers, landlords, and consumers. Thank you!
One of my best friends as a kid was named Jaquaylin. I never asked why.
She was probably told that information in college or uni, let’s be real! 😂
As a black woman who grew up in the UK, I have a European name (French to be exact), and *NOBODY* but my French teacher or people who speak French, can get my name right first try!
That ish would genuinely annoy tf outta me as a kid and teenager and it’s still an annoyance to today because, it keeps happening and will happen until the day I die… Probably afterwards too at my funeral.🤦🏾♀️
I’ve been said I agree with that white woman because I can speak from firsthand experience and know exactly what she’s getting at, it’s not racist at all; it’s facts!
The only good thing about my name is that my dad is the one that named me😂
This commentator is simply speaking common sense.
Jesus Christ is this world's Lord and Savior
So was Horus, Attis, Krisna, Zoroaster etc... who all predated Jesus 🤫🤭
@@sbostic08 only Christ can save us from hell.
@@kylethechristian5609 What does Christ and hell actually mean to you? And what do you think of the correlation between Jesus and the other saviors of mankind ( who predated the story of Jesus)? Please no generic statements. I would encourage an answer that requires critical thinking.
@@sbostic08 Well here's an answer read the Bible more Jesus says that no one goes the father except through me meaning you have to repent for your sins accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He's the only way to heaven you have to believe in the father and the son to get to heaven
@@kylethechristian5609 Yes, that's an answer. It's a robotic answer devoid of any substance. I asked for a bit of critical thinking but you regurgitated a statement used by those who can't fathom studying belief systems besides their own. I'm pretty sure you barely understand your Bible especially from a esoteric perspective. You couldn't even explain what Christ or hell meant to you. 🙄
Generational trauma... This woman is so wrong that i can't even begin to laugh, because it's so dumb that i actually feel bad for her.
I never remember people's names anyway. Just a whole lotta "heeeyy muh dude".
Dude, you are throwing strikes. Keep bringing the heat. Great points.
Not only is it not true. It makes zero sense.
Rationality isn't taken into consideration.
Non related to topic, but an interesting name I came across. I came across all kinds of names due to my work. One of the more interesting one I've seen is a family of siblings with the SAME 1st name and different middle name. Their 1st name were something like "King", and than middle name is any regular 1st name. It's creative, every time our nurses call them up, they have to address them as KING and than their name cause the nurse has to make sure they are addressing the correct patient.
When I was in high school, there were a fair amount of kids from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. All of the ones that were born over there and came here had trouble saying my name because there is no V in their language. They had to actually make a conscious effort to pronounce it David. If they just said my name without really thinking about it, they would pronounce it like Daywid. Then yeah like you said, a lot of them had names that were difficult for American born kids to pronounce properly.
You can't find any laquandisha before 1970. My great grandmother was named Lucille. Four men in my family are named Robert. The trend came from the bastardization of names learned from Africa and Arab. Even many names like Rochelle and Marquis are from French, but pronounced in a more English way.
Ominique? lmfao that sounds like an xbox gamertag 🤣
My real name is Shaniqua. My dad said he had no idea it was considered “ghetto” til years later. BUT that doesn’t mean I haven’t faced the consequences of that name. Do you know how many people have straight up refused to have me over based off my name? How many job applications that weren’t taken seriously because of my name and the stereotype behind a name like mine. I used to want to change my name so badly because of the stereotype behind it and I never wanted to be grouped in that stereotype. I’m 29 and have decided to keep my name but I do insist people call me Shanny. I’ve been called racist or hating part of my race because of it. No, I’ve just lived an entire life with that name and I understand the negative consequences because of my name
Argument immediately invalid after “slavery”
Like when they said "Master bedroom" was because slave owner were "Masters" when in fact it had Absolutely nothing to do with that. Its Sears that used that term in one of their catalogue to name the large second floor bedroom. Like you say they rewrite history and young people that dont know better will think its true and will repeat that lie to everyone. Love Trapper videos but also those more phylosophical/educational ones. ❤ Also i will give you money for New headphones if i want to youre not my mom !! 😂
Also where Silent Hill ? Fridays are Silent Hills day ? This not silent hill where silent hill ? ❤

As everyone knows, slaves where notorious for being named gilgamikerderkendorwoodsmithsongoldbergianisquvich

First I want to start off by saying I agree with you and applaud you for taking up these conversations as they are needed. Also malcolm x has amazing interview soeaking on these false prohets you speak of. The fact that these people use racist so often for everything is makes the word utterly numbing and useless.
The problem with the black community is that their ties with their African ancestry was severed when they were brought to america or transported anywhere outside the continent which isnt surprising consodering their captors didnt speak their language nor cared about their culture. These people claiming that these names are from swalihi or any other eastern african country are just plain wrong from the jump. Almost 90% percent of all slaves came from the east coast were they would have spoken igbo, woloof, yoruba, etc. Most people have no idea about where slaves came from due to lack of self education the biggest threat to our community. Most of these wild names come from ignorance and lack of education in general which has plagued the black community heavily since their arrival in america. Thing is you can only make excuses for so long before you have to start holding your community accoutable. The historian is absolutely correct. There's a reason pan africanism didnt ever work no matter hard some very prominent black leaders pushed for it. Blacks tried to grasp for many ties back to africa but its a very futile thing to do when you actaully learn that africa houses over 1000 plus languages and countless cultures, itd be improbable to figure out where in africa you exactly came from without your ancestors keep super thorough records which very few if any did. While the white lady in the video is correct, her delivery is terrible, with anyone its not hard to politely ask the correct way to say someones name. The woman recording is just plain wrong. She knows dang well that if name your kid some crazy you can't be mad. She then stated slavery bs just to win the argument with someone who probably had no clue at all about slavery.
*Off topic here but.... It isnt slavery on its own thats had the lasting effects or generational damage(trauma is over used) but the system america built and thats facts. To simply state that there should no longer be any remnants of chatel slavery today is false. This isnt a victim mentality but facts. Yes blacks in america havent done the best at holding itself accountable for things, but you cant discount the inarguable fact that america has been racist specifically towards blacks for way longer than it hasn't. For instance in 2028 it'll be 60 years since blacks gained true first class citizenship. Prior to that America spent a whooping 192 years being openly racist making countless laws and loopholes to disparage blacks. Lastly just because an ignorant person uses phrase use negate the meaning of said phrase. Epigenetics is actually a more accurate description of why these generational damages exist in present day. Thing about humans is that some recover and hurdle over these roadblocks and others unfortunately falter and this is with any issue in life addiction and mental health works in the same way.
Again thank you for having these talks my guy you really need a podcast for this shit though. Also why don't you have a members section yet, let us support you broski!!!!
first time visiting your channel just wanted to tell you you have very smart and insightful content. I think you’re gonna get big for sure.
why can other races such as middle east, Asian, European, East Asian have unique names that aren't disrespected or seen as inappropriate or "unhirable". But then when black people have unique names it is memed and deemed ghetto? why is that?
Don't bother with this racist bum he thinks he made a point for some weird reason
Because these ‘unique’ names are entirely fabricated and have no relationship to anything historic aside from ghetto culture. If you actually watched and understood the video you would know this.
Arab world
You have a good point no one should be treated differently regardless of anything whether that be race gender or sexuality for their benefit or harm
If I hear someone called a racist, I automatically assume they just ticked of the right people and are probably good person. I don't feel that way about actual racists, but the word almost never gets used to actually point them out.
In those days confusion will be the order of the day,!!! Fabricated, allbeit.
I really like your videos i just started watching last week really nice work :]
If you can pronounce Schwarzenegger then Laquisha shouldn't really be a problem. That's just my personal opinion.
I'm from Nigeria and both white and black Americans as well as any other group that is not my particular ethnicity mispronounces my name all the time even though my last name is just four letters. I think black people started giving their children unique names that were a combination of African groups they descended from, Native Americans they were mixed with and Europeans they were mixed with especially Spanish and French hence the "La" that is frequently found at the beginning of the name. Someone should really trace the origins of names in the black American community instead of turning it into another divisive topic or polemic.
In Chinese communities we tend to give our child an American/English name as the first name for integration purposes, second name in Chinese for heritage purposes.
Mant do, many dont. But even if everyone did judging exclusively black for refusing to to assimilate to european naming standards is literally based on a superiority complex and lack of respect.
I better not ever here a Qiang Zhang talking crap about Laquisha lol
Can someone please bring up the Marlenes because we should know how slavery really started
Don’t worry. My only Prophet is you Pookie. Praise Prophet Kills.

Race hustling is a route to power over the simple minded and uneducated
I'm Indonesian but I am wondering why do you guys hate "ghetto" names like "Aliyah, Demetrius, Xavier, Ashanti etc."? those are common name for me. like Aliyah is Arabic, Demetrius is a saint, Ashanti is an empress name. Don't hate me, I am genuinely asking question.
💯
I’ve never judged for any mispronunciation of my name even though I think it’s quite easy to say cause sometimes it’s just because of someone’s accent that they can’t say it right, like I’ve been to a few South African doctors and they pronounce my name moisin or moysin rather than Mason and it’s just cause their accent, I find it funny though😂
As a guy with a 11 letter 1st name. It's a common name, most used a shorten version of it when referring to you. How ever it's easy to pronounce. I'd pay this lady to name one 15 letter name let alone 20+. It's not even the length of it It's what you're used to. Icelandic words in America can be a drinking game.
@@nealcassady-yn3bh When an employer sees an application with such a name on it, they reasonably expect that the applicant would sound like the girl in the video, full of attitude and ready to make trouble. They know there are plenty of B people who aren't like that, so they throw that application in the circular file and move to the next.
his is what they do for they prosper with lies and deception
The woman in the blue coat is spot on …..if the black community put more time into fitting in instead of always fighting to be different…aggressively and stubbornly doing everything to be separate from the main and most successful culture that has built the western world
Striving for success over dysfunction ….one can dream

Hey I wanted to send you a little tip through cash app but I looked up the name on your last video and nothing came up. I’d love to pitch in a bit toward some new headphones since I watch your content during my lunch breaks and appreciate what you do.
Ahhh my cashapp might just be bugged/broken!! It’s perfectly fine tho! :) I appreciate you for tuning in! Super glad to know you’ve been enjoying the videos!!! Don’t even worry about it!
@@QuietKills well I appreciate your work, if the cash app works again I’ll be happy to toss a donation your way. Just let me know.
Gotchu! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!!!
If your mother pushed you out she can name you whatever she wants.

You pretty much summed up the ENTIRE history on given names.
Not sure about the "missed the mark" comment though, because African-Americans are essentially doing what other cultures have done with given names: Take a name from one culture (or multiple rather), and create a variation of it to fit their own culture. It isn't "missing the mark". It's just creating a variation of it.
Example: Marcus, an English name, is one of many names derived from the name "Mark", which in turn is derived from the Latin name "Mart-kos".
Interesting.
great video bro love it
Terrance Howard is a good example of a false prophet
actors are deceivers, never forget that.
Check out Dr. Marijuana Pepsi's dissertation titled: Black names in white classrooms.
i never realized how much of a chokehold musical artist had on plp until i stopped listening to music with lyrics they fr think they know them and relate to them and would defend them with their life (taylor swift ) just cuz u like their music don’t mean u gotta idolize them n do all that just appreciate their work n move on 💀
Kanye West should've been in the thumbnail
This is a great video. The only thing I would input is that these are false teachers, not prophets. Prophets are supposed to have a direct line of communication with God himself. Like Jeremiah in the Bible. False prophets are claiming to hear something directly from God that is not true. These people in the video are sending out false messages. Making them false teachers.
Brother is the same everywhere is just some ghetto stuff, in venezuela youll see names like winkelson yonaikel or yuribitzaida when theres plenty of normal names like Maria, Perla, Carla, etc, its the same thing.
I just wanna live in peace and play games. Why do ppl want to fight?
10 or 15 years ago seeing the word "racism" in a headline or videotitle would always draw my attention, but nowadays when I see it I just assume someone said the N-word in 2009.

Stupid names are the first and most permanent mark of low class. This goes double for self aggrandizing names like "Adonis", "King", or "Lexus."
An easy way to disprove that narrative: if we struggle to pronounce a word/name, there is very little chance that a person would be able to spell it. So let's say a child was sold into slavery and the parent wants to track the child down. As an example, lets say this childs name is Shondiqua; if I hear that name spoken and I'm barely literate, like most people in the past, I wouldn't be able to spell that name (this person might write it as Shondekwa, Shondikwah, etc) to write it down accurately. How are you supposed to track a child with a unique name if every time it is written down, it is written differently? I'm pretty sure slavers wouldn't take the time to ask the slave how to spell their name because they saw them as a utility, a tool, not a person.
My Christian name is easy. It is Martyn, and yet people pronounce it in various weird ways. And these are people with the same ancestry as I have, but the spelling of my name is much older than the typical spelling: Martin, so most people aren't familiar with it.
