#and that family would take a similar sort of pride in their fmaily the way the Blacks and Malfoys do in wizarding culture

I picked up a fic rec from TikTok that I thought was mostly about Regulus & Sirius if Regulus hadn't died and now I'm fully committed to the Kingsley/Regulus ship

Also IDK if it's already out there but I hc that at some point Kingsley's family name was Yeboah or Ozigbodi, or Dzifa and something *cough cough British imperialism* happened wherein an ancestor lost their surname. So, when the next ancestor was able, they chose a name no one would be able to forget. One that symbolized their pride for surviving while shoving it in the colonizers' faces the way you would rub a puppies nose in a pee spot while saying no and bad, such as Kyen. However, translation spells weren't what they are today and in the early 1900's, the spell translated it poorly. Hence, Shacklebolt.
