Kandi And Todd Have Named The Boy!

January 7, 2016 by tamaratattles 83 Comments

RHOA todd and baby

Kandi says that she wanted a unique name for the new boy child so that there would not be lots of other kids with his name when he heads off to school.  This made me worried he was going to be named something unpronounceable and weird.

But actually it was the 366th most popular boy name of 2015 and rising with a bullet!

The name is…….

Drumroll….. Ace Wells Tucker.

So thoughts on the name?  It’s better than Deuces, Amitrite?

      Maybe, but not as likely in an urban school where the population has a majority of black children attending. I’m not making fun of any of the kids I taught, but it took me around two weeks to get used to all the names on my class list and then match the child with the name. I taught algebra and geometry to 7th and 8th graders for many years here in NJ. I had so many girls named Diamond, Jasmine and Kiara. Lots of boys named Shamar, Mujaheed, and Jamal.

      I think the tides changed for African Americans after Roots, the miniseries was shown on TV back in the late 70’s. While some names are based on demographics, culture, and religion, Roots was a pivotal turning point in tv, pop, and life culture for blacks in the US. I saw a big shift in their names in the next ten years.

      There was plenty of other shit going on in the schools, but shaming kids based on their names wasn’t one of them in my situation. There was much more discrimination amongst the kids who were darker skinned and those with very light skin or those who appeared to be bi-racial.

      I think it was nice that the middle name of the new Tucker boy is Wells, in honor of Sharon’s last name. (I presume maiden name)

        OMG LisaPat, my husband is a cop and he and another officer were checking on a disturbance. They asked for everyone’s license. He came home and told me that one of the guys’ name was Shithead (pronounced Sha-heed). He was being belligerent and my husband said to him after looking at his license “your name is Shithead?” and the guy says no it’s Sha-heed. My husband tells him well your Mama may call you Sha-heed but your name is spelled Shithead. The other guys with him started laughing so hard the disturbance was averted and they all dispersed without incident. I’ve told people that story and have a hard time getting them to believe that was his name. So glad you have a similar one. Lmao.

      No offense squirrel it’s an ingrained thing, I get that, but the kid is hardly a few hours old and we’re jamming him into his lifelong gender role. Honestly I wish it were white with flaming hot little pink polka dots. Really makes me appreciate the couple that refused to disclose the gender of their baby. It forced everyone who engaged with the child to question their gender role assumptions so the baby wasn’t limited by them.

    No matter what she names her baby it will be okay. She will have such happy moments with little Ace Wells Tucker and her family that child will be called whatever is comfortable once he gets home. Once he is in school he will be called whatever fits at that time. His mommie and daddy are giving him a fitting name for his legal name. You can all yourself whatever you want in life. He’s a baby, let him get out of the hospital and then who’s to say what he will be called. ijs

      Seriously? Come on! Even if you thought the boy naming in the title was sketchy, which it wasn’t, it’s a male child after all, but in the body she clearly indicates boy child. Boy child is a non offensive description completely valid regardless of ethnicity. Well, unless someone has an axe to grind anyway.

    At least it’s a real word spelled correctly with no punctuation. Having an “ER” ending name limits boy names. You can’t use any ER ending first names or they sound like a multiple craftsman.
