This is known as overcompensation for Sally, Dick and Jane readers and everyone having similarly WASPy names up until around the 1970s-80s. (It doesn't really help promote diversity when the teachers can't pronounce the names, just FYI.)

I laugh at the "regatta" example since the Three Rivers Regatta here is basically a yinzerfest with boats and tribute bands. In other words, hardly an "upperclass" event.
