Sometimes when he's not listening I'll call him by his full name, Ezekiel but pronounce in more like eh-zeh-kie-el makes me feel hebrew or amish or some shit.

I have only ever met black people named Ezekiel. So I'm guessing devout Christian blacks? It's a cool name cause they can go by Zeke for short. zeke is a badass name.

My cousin named his dog Zeke and calls him Ezekiel when he's being bad.
The name makes me think of "Amish Paradise."

I thought it'd be good to bring back names like Balthazar.... Couldn't get her on board though..... Almost had approval for Archibald, as we'd call him Archie, just like her grandpa.... But didn't go through.... We chose some good names still though, classics.

there's nothing in a name when it comes to a persons name, unless you wish to invoke the personhood of the particular name's recipient.
so Octavius, therefore, is a cool name.

Nah, Akira makes perfect sense. A name only implies what everyone else projects into it. If Shaniqua is considered a black girls name, that is only because of the person hearing the name has some preconceived idea of what kind of person that name should belong to. In reality its just a fucking name. Its only for personal aesthetics or reverence of some sort.

yeah, it is used to invoking the person...just...think about it if mom or dad can't call you, they can't...control you.

Are you being held against your will Akira? No need to answer out loud, just blink twice if so. Help is on it's way.
