They wouldn't get named until they were sold, and usually wouldn't happen until they hit their destination. Until then, not valued enough to be named. Remember, they'd toss a chainlinked series of mostly living slaves off the ship if a few of them died of disease. You don't go around naming chattel like that.
I'm not sure, also, when the ship was to have sunk, but surnames were a relatively late development for unfreed slaves.
try to escape how dumb this article is, but Cote de Pablo (NCIS) on her boyfriend:

She's dating Diego Serrano??? I love that guy.
Yeah, that's my takeaway.
Burn Notice: Huh! Tank from the Matrix. Interesting casting. Marcus Chong's wiki page says that he has written a novel based on his experience in the Matrix, crossed with Alexandre Dumas. Again, I say, huh.
Oh, how I loved the end of Castle this week.
"It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday...."
Castle makes me happy.
H50 was pure one-liner love last night.
"His idea of conversation is to drop a witty one-liner, then shoot you in the face."
"I also make pickles. It's a great way to reuse the specimen jars."
"If you're gonna barf, you crack that window. You can't be sick in this car, it's a loaner!"
Also, Dr. Max? Best. Coroner. Ever.
Loved both shows. So glad to have new episodes this week.
I don't get to see Castle until Saturday (NFL pre-empt - which is OK because NE shellacked the Jets).
