That’s. Not. My. Name! We chat about our experiences with ‘traditional names’ in western societies and the struggles of fitting in. Another round of love island chats has us questioning what it really means to be ‘exclusive’. We also speak on our favourite compliments we like to hear (so we hope you all listen well well, and take notes!) and whyyyy everything needs to be TikTok-ified!?Chat with us on: @swgtapodcast (insta) / [email protected] / swgta podcast (linktree)Follow your hosts:Diana: @dianagithwe / @anabundanceofmelaninMercy: @mercy_abelRecs of the week: Read Diana’s blogpost: English Names for Non-English People Read Rachel’s (Mercy’s sister) blogpost: Reclaiming My Name Follow @embracingblackculture on insta Watch Ginny & Georgia on NetflixTIMESTAMPS: So many subscriptions (00:01:50) Mercy the music producer (00:05:05) Baby names that would be cute if they weren’t already words (00:08:31) Uncommon names (00:15:06) What is a traditional name (00:17:14) Yewande & #SayMyName (00:32:49) Love Island (00:48:48) Favourite compliments (01:09:33) The TikTok-ification of everything (01:26:14) Our recommendations and faves (01:39:22)
