My university is replacing the graduation announcer with an AI announcer

Students have to scan a qr code for their name to be read by the ai voice 🤦 and yes this is the same school that put a girl on academic probation/suspension for using grammarly.

I work for a school district and every end of year my coworkers and I comb through the list of names because theres always some buck wild names that people give their kids.

I went to elementary school with a kid with the first name Caiman and the middle name Monitar. Like yknow... the lizard. But spell "monitor" different to throw them off the trail.

  • Ty'rõnê (pronounced tyranny)
  • My'King
  • J'sis Nature of Spirit
  • Zy'Miracle
  • Tha Man
  • YourMajesty

  • Nubian Queen

Ive got a lot more I didnt bother mentioning, those are just the worst. The current stock is 41 and I used to have some others but unfortunately they didnt get backed up when I had to get a new phone.

On one hand, I hear what you're saying. On the other hand, "normal" names include Amber, Autumn, Brooke, Heather, Basil, Reed, etc. Are these names, all derived from plants or nature, better?

I can't say that I like the names the op listed, but we need to look in a mirror before calling them stupid.

Who gets to be the person that decides what black people can name their children?

Someone named Connor who sunburns very easily, I suspect.

He should wear sunscreen, methinks.

Well, he doesn’t need to racially restrict people’s cultural freedom of expression while at the beach necessarily.

Simple: don't permit any crackhead names and it's all good. Whine elsewhere
