Here is my sad anecdote about names. My mother made a "grand tour" of the US 1940. She was born in San Francisco, her father from Winston Salem, NC, with interesting roots in the Moravian colony, plantation whites. She asked a local about looking up possible relatives named S............. The guy looked at her kind of funny, and in a warning tone, said anybody of that name was likely "colored."
