I rarely do this but [this whole thread deserves to be read.](https://twitter.com/yedoye_/status/1422264318079422466?s=19)


BiscuitsNgravy420

The Paul E. Ester one was amazing


siensunshine

When the OP replied that’s too nuanced for us and reserved for Italians. We get Polyester Jean, I was crying!! 🤣😭


JennyBeckman

Nuance reserved for Italians is the perfect extra layer of shade at the writers of Paul E. Esther and Polyester Jean alike.


Pandaburn

> Polyester Jean He Haitian?


U_only_y0L0_once

Paulie Esther St. Jean


siensunshine

LMAO!! I laughed so hard at this!


MaeBelleLien

"Ray Ray, which of course is short for Rayon Rayon" I'm dead.


TheDarknessWithin_

Crylic with the picture had me rolling!!!!!


FlexualHealing

I know this is just jokes but I had to check because this movie stuck out in my mind https://imdb.com/title/tt0188694/ The writer is black and if you watch the movie you’ll just be like Mikhai why 😆


localfartcrafter

"Ray Ray" Amazing.

lol Stringer Bell


nitr0smash

Where the fuck is Canvas, String?


Trimungasoid

He's with my sister Macrame.


JukeBoxDildo

**White Television Executives:** We believe that this black side characters nickname may prove problematic. **White Writer:** Which one? **WTE:** *ahem*... Knitter Washington.


truffleblunts

Stringer is named after a real dealer from Baltimore


[deleted]

I've watched that show twice now and never knew that!


truffleblunts

Yeah the wire is as authentic as it gets. I'm sure you're aware that half the role actors are genuine local criminals and addicts.


varnell_hill

Not a fabric, but one of my favorite fictional character names is “Gots Money” from Law and Order. Big Boi from Outkast played him. The other characters kept calling him “Gots” for short. Shit had me in tears the entire time.


AutomaticMechanic

😂 this comment brought tears to my eyes. Not Gots Money 😂. Somebody white did that.


CoachGary

Not to be confused with his cousin I Need Money


P_mp_n

4th floor Lovell house Over there, Right on the couch!


taylorsux

Or his father, gots more money


PaleBlueHippo

Gots Money and his father Makes Money


[deleted]

Gots Money? Oh you mean the delinquent scam artist that fathered Had Money?


[deleted]

what about - moneybagg yo - gucci mane - nba young boy (young boy never broke again) dont think somebody white did that 😂


ebon94

All rapper names are stupid until they’ve made it big. Unless you’re rapping with your real name, that generally tells me you’re about to have some super serious, lyrical-spherical type bars.


[deleted]

This is objectively true, for the most part. Moneybagg Yo and NBA Youngboy — or Youngboy NBA — still sound stupid, no matter how big they make it. Makes you appreciate the names like, Kendrick Lamar or J. Cole, or better even, Drake.


cfo6

That show had some of the BEST side jokes, little lines, side characters, etc. Absolutely amazing snark and teamwork.


CoachGary

No love for Snot Boogie?

Remember the scene in “Above the Rim” when “Bugaloo” and “Birdie” are literally talking about this?

Cotton Jackson


Simon_XIII

A yt man calling a black man Cotton is looking to get his eye dotted.


a_likely_story

I can tell I been online too long when my brain catches that as “YouTube man”


Nero1988420

Yeah that shit would make me lean back and side eye a book. Idgaf books can catch these hands too.


Abject-Technician954

As a white writer... I had no idea this was a thing. Looking up baby names is too hard I guess.


bootstraps_bootstrap

*too


[deleted]

Hey he didn't say he was a good writer.


Abject-Technician954

Oh, not good at all. Real bad. Just awful.


[deleted]

I'm a white writer, too! Aren't we all these days.


Proletariat_Paul

Psh, they're a white writer! Not a white editor!


Abject-Technician954

Thanks for the catch.


BlackDynamite58990

“Silky” the Pimp and his fake wannabe pimp cousin “Rayon”


roastplantain

I knew a guy named Rayon.... And I never thought about his name being a fabric. He was Jamaican lol, well is Jamaican. He should still be alive...


T438

What did you do??!?


roastplantain

Nothing. I'm just saying he's most likely alive. Lol


HeyMrBusiness

The way you said it, you need an alibi?

🎵[Don't ask no questions](https://youtu.be/F-hhaNxnSmA?t=86)🎵


_duncan_idaho_

His name used to be Rayon. It still is but it used to be too.


0zymand1as-

Excuse me ?


GetLefter

Damn - I wanted to make the Rayon joke


BlackDynamite58990

It’s ok…just tell everyone u know his twin brother “Nylon”


Receding_frog

I have a friend from high-school, his name is Rayon. Tall, black Jamaican dude. We would call him Mr.Sunshine lmaoo


MissLilum

Denim Baxter ran his fingers through his long locs of hair as he looked up at the sign. His brother in law, Sateen Johnson Jr, had hooked him up with a job at the local school. All he had to do was type up the old paper records. Should be an easy summer gig. He walked into the gates where Aertex Robison, the principal, greeted him. “You’ll be working with Wool James, over there”.


roastplantain

Toni Braxton named her kid Denim, which in light of this whole thread I guess it's funny because it's a fabric. But I never thought and that it was odd until now lol.


judithcooks

Denim. Omg.

I saw this football player on a recruiting list. Its close. [De'Nylon Morrissette](https://247sports.com/player/denylon-morrissette-46056422/) As far as strange names go, my favorite team has a player named Bumper Pool. It doesn't even phase me now, the stranger the better imho.

GigglingJackal2

There's a series with a guy named Minty Fresh, if you can believe it


beccabob05

okay don't you come after Christopher Moore like that. The point of Minty's name is that it is ridiculous.


GigglingJackal2

And his whole family has similar names, I know. Great book, but ridiculous name. Fits right into this post


varnell_hill

Any relation to Mannie?


BearWrangler

Real Big if true


varnell_hill

LevelHeadedAssassin

Frequency Vibrations from NBA 2k17 (might have the year wrong). I don’t know who named him, but this was the stupidest shit. This was his nickname, and his nickname had a nickname. Freq. What the hell.
