A week or so ago you may recall a news item about a Texas State Representative who suggested that Asian-Americans should change their names because they're too hard to pronounce and came under some major outrage and mockery for this.

The irony, it burns.

Back 150 years ago when one of my ancestor families arrived from Germany, all of three of their daughters were named Anna Maria Elizabeth. Of course each was known by one of those. What they would have done if they'd had another daughter, who knows. These days that kind of naming would drive the census people nuts. ;o)
