A boy named Unicorn was by far the worst.

He was in a class with Chinky and Drinky who were both boys.

Later I had a Honey, Candy, and Cherry all sit next to each other in one class.

There was also a Sunrysmei.

I recently emailed a school about a vacancy, the director of studies signed off his reply with the name "Jack Sparrow".

These are funny lol, I'm wondering if most of you let the non-offensive ones slide or if you kind of pull the kid to the side and tell them that it needs to be changed.

I haven't and won't make my students change their names, but I do have some interesting ones.

Boys: Jame, Michaid, Milody, Banko, Mars, Charies, Laughing, Beyond

Girls: Suffern, Wangic, Touch, Human, Jam, Baching, Hellomimi, Champeju, Being, Bebinca, Icely, Madly, Somnus, Vimcy, Wiwi, Mancrisdo, Delicious, Vanilla, Salian, and my personal favorite: Tadpole-44.

I came prepared to handout Simpsons names too, but my sophmores already had names. I do tend to expect a lot out of all my Lisas though.
