|
|
A teenage girl student of mine says she wants a 'tough' English name.
I thought of....
'Scarlett' (a nice bloody color)
'Thora' (fem. version of Norse thunder-war god)
'Vampira' (rejected out of hand)
'Rosa' (like Luxembourg)
'Illyana' (cause it's got Ill in it, yo)
'Diana' (cause she was a hunter goddess [I think] and it's got 'Die" in it)
and 'Bunny' (cause you gotta grow up tough with a name like that).
Any suggestions? She didn't much like mine. |

I have one named Sad Bloody Aroma. She chose it. It does rather suit. |

I had a student who named herself Boris. She was a offbeat one. |

If that girl were in my class, that crapola would soon be changed.  |
