White people have some really bad names. Only a white woman would name her kid khaleesi.
Guy I know worked ers. Kid named Nosmo. The mother looked up, saw the no smoking sign, said that sounds good.
As far as names go it's better than the white ones lmao.
If her last name is King, that's genius
I think this exact string was a plot point in Ramona and her father by Beverly Cleary. Ramona intended to create a "NO SMOKING" sign, but paper dimension limitations caused the sign to read "NOSMO KING".

It sounds like a pretty good book, with some real themes dealing with unemployment and the stress that has on the whole family.
I did find this bit a little funny:
who the hell is Beezus lmfao
Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby is Ramona's elder sister. IIRC, she got her nickname because Ramona had difficulty pronouncing "Beatrice" when she was little.
