When I was in second grade, my teacher left on maturnity leave and we had a substitute. Her name was Ms. Gumdrum. I hated her with passion! A few years later, I had a substitue named Ms. Gumdrop. I adored her. It was later in the year that I heard Ms. Gumdrum died.

I went to school with Peter Pan. My mom taught a girl with the last name Fickeisen (translated into English that would be something like F*CKiron). There was also a boy named Duc (whose parents had immigrated to Germany from Vietnam), he told us his name means Germany. I guess his parents really loved it over there. I hate my last name it just rhymes with too much
Freshman year I had a roommate named BabyGirl (her parents didn't have a name for her until she was a few months old, so that's what ended up on her birth certificate). She went by Elisabeth.
Comparatively, my name isn't SO bad I suppose....but having gone to school with a lot of girls with names like "Kristin", "Christine", "Jennifer" etc...I really have never been a fan of my name....Cori (I'm a girl)

I work in an admissions office, and I'd have to say, the best name I've come across was Mari Christmas. I've also seen Elton John, Bobby Brady and someone whose first name was Poxi.
"Wilkins, after all these years, are you trying to be funny?"
Not first names, but there are three doctors in Staten Island known as Drs. Mailman, Flug, and Ozer.
One of my teachers had a student named Gamelba, after the three wise men - Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar.
The best one, though... my mom taught at a Catholic school, where there was a little Korean boy named Phuc. The nuns refused to call him by his name, so they called him Harry instead.
The most beautiful transsexual in the world, Ms. Monica Munro, once said the funniest thing about names:
"Honey, the African-American population can come up with some names. Ain't no Mary, no Lisa... This week at the burger King, Quinzella waited on me." Now, THAT is an unfortunate name.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!
