I'm not in the teaching biz, so I don't know how often you get the opportunity, but I know sometimes teachers get to name their students. So I think each month, as many teachers as possible should conspire to name their students the Name of the Month.

March's Name of the Month: Condoleeza

By the end of March, I want at least 6 new Condoleezas.

i once named two newcomers to my elementary class "Luke" and "Skywalker".

i also had a "Spiderman" but after two weeks the korean teachers changed the lad's name.

My coworker and I had a bet to see who could name a kid "Millhouse" first. He won. I feel too guilty giving them a weird name, so I'll put some funny ones down on paper with some normal ones.

My coworker named some kids Captain Kirk, Spock, Robot, and Cheeto.

I typically go ethnic. They want an American name, I make sure they have a good mix between WASP (John, paul, Harold), Latino (Esteban, Pablo, Ricardo), Black nationalist (Mohammed, Jamal, Kimshawnwa), Hillbilly (Zeke, Jebidiah, Jethro), or whatever else. I mean, really- when the kid gets older and enters the professional market, or goes to school internationally, they're going to use their Korean name- it just makes more sense than someone saying, "Hi, My name is Soo-Hyun, but everyone calls me Betty".

I named a student "Dexter", the serial killer who kills serial killers.

Thinking of naming any new students after serial killers. I could have a serial killer class.

Manson, Bundy, etc.

Hee hee hee ha ha.

I gave the students a chance to pick their own name (as homework). The deal was, come to the next class with an English name or I will choose one for you.

I named boys: Smedley, Bertram, Sylvester, Chester, Fester, Rupert, and Obediah.

I named girls: Gertrude, Ethel, Bertha, and Chloe.

No offense to anyone reading this whose name is on the list.
