Default Re: How do I get a coloured name?

That's because it was how it was spelt in the ~18th century when we shipped all you guys over there. As they'd all come from or took exile to avoid jail, the word had greater use and so was likely more resistant to change than normal English words.

(P.S, I think we should export our criminals to other countries too, Australia turned out pretty good - let's try Paris? And that was a joke too)
