Personally, I prefer Frigidaire.
I’m sorry, you won the bet. I don’t associate the Kelvinator brand or refrigerators with any particular ethnicity. The only person I’ve encountered with the name Kelvin was a Korean boy in my first grade class. That was his American name that sounded similar to his Korean name. I do not remember the Korean name.
Kelvin would be fine (as would, arguably, be Kelva, there is a St Kelvin, I didn't think of that). The family was African American, an ethnicity known for its high degree of creativity as regards naming their children. "Kelva" is actually very mild, compared to some of the bizarre names they give their children, outrageous spellings (and sometimes mispronunciations) of even halfway-normal names, as well as
portmanteaux (that could well be a name right there!), apostrophes, hyphens, capital letters inserted in the middle of names, and so on. It's apparently supposed to be some sort of pseudo-French-
cuм-pseudo-African set of inspirations, but they often fail on both counts.
But sometimes good things can happen. The parents whom I cited were Pentecostal, indeed, the father was a Pentecostal preacher, highly regarded in the community --- they were good people, fine family, IIRC they didn't even believe in birth control and just welcomed whatever children the Lord gave them --- but I doubt they were thinking of St Kelvin when they named their daughter, and I knew a black lady who named her son Kyre (pronounced "ky-ree"). I explained to her that this closely resembles "Kyrie", as in
kyrie eleison, with which she was familiar as it can be found in the lyrics of a pop song by the 1980s group Mr Mister. The lyrics are inspiring (though not explicitly religious) and this song and video gives you an idea of what popular culture could look like in a properly-organized Catholic society that acknowledges the Reign of Christ the King.
