I'd love to teach a class of Buddha, Allah, God, Jesus, Krishna, Shiva, etc... It would make this old athiest feel spiritual for once!

At my winter camp the girls named themselves: Heart, Honey, Rabbit, Nico

Not so bad, but the girl who called herself Rabbit, also responded to Toki, which is Korean for rabbit. She would jump around everywhere and wear a bunny suit thing all day.

A couple of years ago, I was in a Seoul travel agency. The travel agent was wearing a name tag. Her name was Buffet.

Intrigued, I asked her how she came about choosing her English name.

"I like to eat."

Spidy (Like Spiderman) 3rd grade boy
Bunny Korean 6 year old boy
Red and Blue Twin boys 3rd grade
Zim Kim 3rd grade boy
King Korean 6 year old boy

David Korean 6 year old boy. I include this because of how I met David. I walked into my new classroom and this little guy runs up to me and motions for me to come down to him level. I squat down to his eye level and said, "Hi." David stated, "Hello, my name is David." I said "Nice to meet you David." To which he responded, "Do you know why my name is David?" I shook my head no. David then informs me in a tone that suggests I should challenge him "My name is David because in the bible David is a powerful king, some day I will also be king." "Oh" was the only response I could muster.
