On my class roster there is a young man named "Apricot Scott". He hasn't shown up in class yet.

I bet he is just peachy or the pits. Any Shaquanah's this year?

Robert has a little girl this year named Arshpreet - which to our American eyes and ears is pretty different. He usually has a very ecclectic ethnic mix, so the names are quite the display.

I worked for someone named Sunshine once. Didn't even bother to shorten it to Sunny.

I once worked on a show where the director was a man named Genesis, and the choreographer was named Serenity.

My brother knew this girl named Nafateria once. And there are twins at my school named Shaquita and Shakita. I doubt they can even tell the difference when they are called.

I know a few kids with... odd names.

For instance, there's a girl in my PE class named Chiquita.

I just call her "Banana Girl."

He's not my student...but art teacher has a student named Praisegodallah.

And another teacher I know had a girl named Sensual Memory.

I myself have a Sapphire, Heaven, Destiny, and my favorite Jonattan.

Sensual Memory? Oh, dear...

There was a gal in a class I TA'd named Scarlett Dye. I don't think you can possibly have a name that screams "stripper" more loudly.

Oh...and my mother used to work with Candy Hamm.

Not to make fun of Philadelpha schools but my neighbor works in one. There are soo many different kinds of backrounds there. Anywayz- some of the students come from African countries or other various countries.

One of the kid's name she told me was: Mohamad-wadgi-fakeer-rudin.

*It may not be spelled 100% correctly but it's pretty close*

So, I thought that was quite a bizzare name

I once taught a girl named Snowraven-Starborn. All her first name too.

I wonder what possesses parents to bestow first names which are rather ridiculous with surnames.

I know a James James, a William Williams (he goes by Willie), a Robert Roberts, a Rocky Rhodes (yes...Rocky is not a nickname),
a Honey Bunch with a brother Brady Bunch...and a co-worker who named his son Ashley, nicknamed Ash...and their last name is Nash.

Someone mentioned the name Precious. I LOVE THAT NAME!!!! If I ever adopt a child, that is what I am naming her. That name just pulls on my heart strings everytime, and I don't know why.

Precious...I love it,

If I ever DO have a child (god forbid!) I'll name it 'Unflushed'.

I knew a girl named "Yellow" growing up.

All kinds of characters in the public school system.
