Aside from this piece about a proud woman named Marijuana Pepsi, the larger issue is missed:  research has shown that black American parents do their kids a huge disservice by giving them ethnic names.

I once knew a young black American woman with a very white, very WASPish, very preppy name: Kelly Harrington. Once I said something about it to her and she let me know that she was grateful that her mother hadn't named her Shenika.

Needs to get a doctorate to have any chance of getting a job with that name.
