I tried browsing through the S2 part of the threat but didn't see this mentioned:
almost all the important Poles in S2 use a shortened version of their birth name:
Stannislaus Valcheck = Stan
Francis Sobotka = Frank
Nicholas Sobotka = Nick
Except Ziggy, who's given name isn't actually Zigismund. He's just trying to fit in.

Watching the show with my parents was an experience. Season 5 and my dad is saying poo poo like:

"Wait, so is this guy Omar or Marlo?"

"Who's Jay?"

"Who's Chris?"

"Snoop was a girl this whole time?"

Latent racism or early onset senility? I don't want to know.

I think this has to do with the cast for the Standfield gang looking a lot less distinctive than the Barksdale gang in general, speaking a lot less to each other and getting less screen time in general because of the additional side plots.
