Flynn?

People just called him sport

Even if you tell them “Bob”, they’ll ask you to spell.

So his parents saw the Errol of their ways and changed it to Earl?

Maybe his last name is Flynn. (You probably need to be old to understand.)

why did Willie become white later – white privilege?

Knew a guy whose name WAS Errol Flynn. Everyone DID pronounce it Earl.

Name pronunciation can be so tricky. I never knew there were so many ways to pronounce Andrea until I worked with 3 of them. AAN-dree-a; AHN-dree-a; ahn-DRAA-a. Of course, it could be they just picked different ways to say their names just to help keep straight whom was being talked about.

I thought “Errol” was pronounced like “aryl.”

I am now wondering if his last name, is “Grey.”
