My daughter actually goes to middle school along along with with your daughter.

I wasn't saying.

Speaker 1

Let me no, let me tell you, Miss Miss Patricia, what the problem is.

Speaker 1

See, my daughter name is Derek.

Okay.

Speaker 1

So

Speaker 1

and it just blew me and my wife away that it was another Derek that went to school.

Speaker 2

Okay.

Speaker 1

All right.

Speaker 2

I don't know too many Derrickas.

Speaker 2

That's the unique name.

Speaker 2

That's cute, okay.

Speaker 1

Right, right.

Speaker 1

Well, here's the problem.

Speaker 1

Me and my wife actually, you know, when it was time to name my child, we thought we was really picking a name that nobody uh would ever pick out for their daughter.

Speaker 1

And to have another Derrica in the school, that blew us away.

Speaker 1

And I I I guess the real reason why I'm trying to call you, Miss Patricia, see if if uh if there's something maybe we can work out, you know, maybe uh like your Derek, does she have a minute, wait, wait, middle name or nickname she can be called by, and opposed to both of 'em being Derek, you know, because we really wanted our child to be the only one with this name.

Speaker 2

Okay, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 2

Wait the f up.

Speaker 2

Now you calling me and you asking me to change my baby's name.

Speaker 1

Well, I mean, you you you ain't really gotta legally change, I mean, but just start calling us something else, you know.

Speaker 2

No, no, wait a minute.

Speaker 2

So what you the naming police or something?

Speaker 2

Do you know how many Anne's and Lewis's and Patricia's out there?

Speaker 2

What if I asked everybody in in the United States to change their name from Patricia?

Speaker 2

Do you know how crazy that is?

Speaker 1

And I understand that.

Speaker 2

You must be on drugs.

Speaker 1

No, I what I'm trying to say is, you know, this this is something that we really have our baby girl was this name, and we didn't want nobody else to have this.
