Worked with a chick in the early 2000s named Whispeny. The elderly Customers would always ask her a million questions about her name so she always tried to hide her name tag whenever possible.

Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Won't Change Her Name 'To Make Other People Happy'
Long ridiculed for her unusual name, Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck recently turned her hardship into success. After studying perceptions around "black names" in white classrooms, she completed her Ph.D.www.npr.org
Surely that's jay-dasha, no?My ex worked as a pediatrician in a town with a heroin problem, so she saw some extremely urban names. The worst one was J'. That's J with an apostrophe, pronounced jah-comma. Poor little J' has no fucking chance in life.
Was this fine lady a niggo by any chance?Jailessa. Found it on a dating app.
Sounds aspirational to me. You know, like some people will name their daughter Chastity, in hopes that she won't be a slut, they named her Derriere in hopes that she would have a nice ass.Just remembered a story my parents told me years ago about someone they knew who wanted a fancy sounding name for their daughter. French sounds like a good language to have a fancy name.
Somehow they came up with Derriere. Unknown to them, it means "buttocks" in French.
Your friend was likely referring to Ayran (a sorta salty yogurt drink), so one letter-switch away from tragedy... but still pretty tragic nonetheless.I used to work with an Aryan. Not 100% sure on the spelling anymore, but I think it was with a Y. Anyways, she was black. Like, the tent-wearing black type.
I was reminded of it earlier in a discussion with a middleeastern descent friend who pointed out it's the brand name of some sort of yoghurt.
Aryan is also a fairly common Indian name, which I learned from working with a few myself. At first, I thought it'd be pronounced like ar-YAN or something, but no, it's pronounced exactly how you think it is. Unfortunate.I used to work with an Aryan.
