I suspect Barry would also like to get his share.

I'm going by his yearbook name. If he REALLY wanted to be "Barack" for any reason other than associating with some black cultural ideal of some sort for vote-pandering purposes, wouldn't he ALWAYS have used that name?

Well, I seem to remember having my classmates call me by a nickname and not my given name. Didn't insist that people call me by my given name until I got older because I outgrew my nicknames and didn't want to be associated with my childhood but as a mature adult.

Did they use your nickname in your yearbook? And was it an "Americanization" of a foreign sounding name, or a more common nickname? These questions seem somewhat relevant to me - perhaps not to you.

Well, I guess we are looking at this differently or have different perpectives.
