So I start at this hogwon after there last teacher pulled a runner, and I look at the student's names and every class has the same names, Ricky Cory, Jim, Randy, Trevor, even a couple Julians and a Bubbles! And not just the boys either we have some Lucys, Trinities, Barbaras and Sarahs. I think it is so funny cause most of the less bright kids are named Ricky!

That is awesome.

Does Randy wear a shirt?

Gotta say those are some of the coolest kids I've ever heard of. Does Randy have the big ass cheeseburger gut?

[blurgalurgalurga]

What, no Smokie or Lay-he?

[Cerriowen]

The names people come up with... hehe...

One of my kids is named "Any".

My co-worker came in and was talking to the class... I thought it was about her, because she kept saying "Any". Then I realized she was just saying "no" a lot.

I wonder if that has something to do with Any being a contrary, and difficult little piss.

Any J-Rocks??

Actually most of the names aren't that bad. I personally never would have known that's who they were named after unless I followed the show.

Bubbles on the other hand....that's out there.

I wanted to name kids after Saved by the Bell characters, but everyone at my last place thought that might not be a good idea. Think of it: Zach, A.C., Lisa, Kelly, Jessie, and SCREECH! They're not even bad names, and unless you put them all together no one would be the wiser... (Well okay Screech may not be a good name, coulda gone with Sam)

I also thought of Blanch, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose as a set for a clique of girls -- heh Golden girls..

So much potential..

Crow,

The old fashion English names don't fly really well here in Korea. Screech...good god, I hope you wouldn't name a kid that. That would be downright mean.

[Crowzone]

Oh I know, but it still would have been awesome to me!

[Ut videam]

Screech? That's no worse than what some of the kids come up with on their own. To take just one example, there was the Foot Locker class: three of the boys dubbed themselves Nike, Puma, and Asics.

Ya, I forgot, two J-rocs and a Lahey, sorry no smokey.

I inhereted a Luke, Han, Chewie, Boba, Leiah, Anakin, Dooku, Kenobi, Artew, Cithripio, Sith--all in one class. Cithripio is a real d*ck too if you misponounce his, ahem, "Italian" name, as he was told by the last teacher it was...

...and no, I'm not gonna ruin the joke, as I like Star Wars. I'm sure some teacher they have soon will end the fun.

[yingwenlaoshi]

I named a kid "Dexter."
