Laugh. He needs it.

A teacher in my college is called Gay Lyle. Don't think about it; just laugh.

In primary school there was a kid called Sunshine. Bad enough, for a girl. But this kid was a boy. Poor, poor fucker.

Oooh, ooh, better!!!
Just had a call for a Gay Ryder... Seriously! This poor individual works in education.


Why, oh why do teachers think they can survive through life without visiting the deed poll office?

I had a geeky latin teacher called Dr Pratt,
my sensible music teacher chose to keep her maiden name, her first name being Celia, and her marital name Sharp... C Sharp anyone?

Scandi names
Working with Scandinavians helps. I particularly like Randi-Karin Barstad.
The name Knut is also value for the number of times it is spelt wrong. Sample letter from Korea begins "Dear Mr Kunt!".

I have a friend called
Adele Spasic.

And, unfortunately, she was a bit slow.

Better names (of people i know):
Mrs Banucha [had her as my history teacher around the time that Bazooka for veruccas was being advertised on the telly]
Mr Dave Grainger [most appropriate spoonerism ever]
Poppy Moon Jones [wouldn't be so bad had her parents not told her that she was conceived in a Poppy field under a full moon... *shudder*]
Emma Dick [my friends mum]
Chris Dick [not that funny, but considering he was the head boy at our school; Chris Dick : Head Boy]

[woo firstpostness]

edit: Forgot about some Chav masterpieces i know;
Chantelle, Brittany, Boo, Steven-Lee-Ryan.

The neighbor kids
The older one, she's bred true white trash (sadly)*, that's for sure... and her name? Akasha (Queen of the Damned Kids Who Don't Let Me Sleep In Late)

She got a sunburn recently. I giggled.

Do you think people's parents even THINK about what it'll be like for their children in school? When we named our daughter, we made lists, then we tried to think up ways to tease the names on the lists. The names with the fewest amount of teases were the keepers.

*I don't want to sound elitist, but its true, the kid's mom is trash; the girl herself seems like she might have some hope (at least when she's not behaving like a wild child). I'll admit that I'm flat broke, but I ain't po' white trash - a good Texas girl can tell the difference.




Hrm, and I once worked with a girl who's name tag read "Knatache" - why would her parents not just name her "Natasha" or "Tasha"? I always teased her and called her Nuh-tache (ryhmes with moustache) but we were friends... she teased me over my name too! Eventually we traded name tags.
