studies have shown that teacher will pay less attention to a student who's name they can't pronounce.
but those names are better than a few i've run across lately: vodka, tequilla, kahlua, and erotica are some. these are GIVEN names, not nicknames.

That doesn't necessarily say much about the kids, just their circumstances of conception.

Funniest name I have ever seen on a resume that crossed my desk.

E'merg'ancy Ro'om.

No, I couldn't make it up if I tried.

My sister's neighbor (black) has a kid named "Courvoisier". Maybe that's what Momma was drinking the night the kid was conceived, I surmise.

Had a kid get mad at me because I had trouble remembering the WHOLE name. I wanted to tell her that her mother should have thought of that before she gave her that freaky name.

Is Erotica Fallopia's niece; or is she Nosmo King's cousin?
