yep, there are many colors that are last names but you rarely see a red, orange, pink or purple.

No doubt young Johnny had more success in WSC/WEC, but he did emerge first in F1.

Some black guy asked me how to pronounce my name and I ended up telling him the origin of the name which is tied to specific region. Then I started thinking how it must suck to have the last name Smith. All you know is that your paternal lineage came from somewhere on that big island and all were just thrown into a big pile based on their ancestors occupation.

I like the ones named after trades.

I think it’s funny when some social climber names her son Tanner, when tanning was one of the most disgusting and looked down on trades.
