Whenever we get new students, they get an English name. There's a list of boring names that the school uses, but sometimes we can deviate from the list and come up with our own names. The other foreign teacher has named four kids: Cheeto, Robot, Spock, and Captain Kirk. (Not just Kirk CAPTAIN Kirk). I was thinking of names like Slash, Axl, Judas, Buzz, Nixon, Inky, Blinky, Clyde, etc.

Please help me think of some tripped out names for the boys and girls. You get extra credit points if you give the reference to the name.

I am not kidding.

I once named an entire class after Buffy the Vampire characters:

Angel
Spike
Oz
Giles
Anya

There was another kid left, so I named him after my brother, Butch.

I like Otis. That's a cool name.

CuckooCocoon? Ha, I bought The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway last year. I thought that Genesis was always a pretty annoying band, but then I checked out the Peter Gabriel-era stuff. Great two-disc CD - a very cerebral concept album there.

Some good ones:

Superfluity
