a forward from my father

IMPORTANT MEMO FOR ALL AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES!!!
TO: ALL BLACK PEOPLE
FROM: YOU KNOW!!
RE: NAMING YOUR KIDS
DATE: EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Please don't start naming your daughters after the President... names such as Obamanesha, Obamalisha, Obamarette, Obamalaya, Obamaria, Barakala, Barakella, Barakesha, Baraykah, etc.  Adding La, Sha, Da, Ja or Rhi as a prefix is not allowed.  Don't start that mess! PLEASE!!
Also, you might be tempted to name your twins JaBarack or LaMichelle, but DON'T DO IT!!! And please don't misspell Michelle Obama's name.  No Meshell, Mayshell, Maeshell, Muhshell or any of that mess.

It is acceptable to name your sons Barack or even Obama, but that is as far as you may go.  

YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED THE MEMO AND HAVE BEEN WARNED!
