When I was in fourth grade...in Ft. Walton Beach FL ;) *a very very long time ago*

There were FOUR Pam's in the class AND the teacher's name was Pam.

Pam F
Pam M
Pam S
Pam T
and Miss Vaughn.

Yes, I often said that the list for names NOT to name my kids was longer than the list TO name my kids.

names I did not consider:

Theo
Miranda
Joshua
Jennifer
Brandon


I know there were others, but these jump to mind very, very quickly. Too quickly.

Flenzy, Jake, Melissa, Peter, Amanda

The rest of them, I'm sure I could get over. But those four, never. The others I seem to forget about after a few months.

WAIT...how did I not know this?

I was born and raised in Destin...the parents still live there (and are natives). It's quite possible that you were in school with some of my aunts and uncles.

I don't know what kind of crap the kid pulled, but Flenzy sounds baller as hell.

Although "Grandma Flenzy" is turd sandwich all the way.

Ok, so i'm not a teacher (although i'm thinking about it) but I will never name my children:


Girls:
Laura
Susie, Susan, Susanna, etc
Jennifer

Boys:
Sean, Shawn, etc
Aaron
Scott
Richard

Did you really have a student named Flenzy when you taught HS?

Daddy was an AF officer....he was stationed at Eglin AFB while I was in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade :). decades ago...decades ago.

We had the coolest babysitters :).....a HS junior named Nancy Neville was the one that pops into my head. She was so sweet to us.

My two best friends were Jody Scrivenor (sp?) and Renee Robinson :).

Amazing what you can remember as you get older :).

Destiny, Christopher, Jahmirah, Nayalyn & Matthew. Tho they are unforgettable children!!

Who names their children these things? Flenzy? Cage?

*crash*
I'm not a teacher, but from reading NICU films for 5 years, I'd say that I'd avoid any derivation of the words Destiny and Miracle. I've seen Ama-miracle, Shamiracle, LaDestiny, Plain ole Destiny and countless others. Sadly, most of these kids were in such bad shape that neither name applied.

How could I forget? Our school has been run ragged by Destinys and Devons. And since they sound alike, we've had at least 3 brother and sister pairs with those names.

Not a teacher, but when I worked @ a private school we had our share of students who consistently were sent to my office as a means of punishment:

Christopher
Edward
Krystal
Derrick
Brandon
Clifford

Lol I have worked in a school and the names of children that possibly drove me crazy.... Were the Anthony's, Elijah's, Britney, Brianna and oh yes of course the Tatiyana's!!!! I would and yes I repeat NEVER name my children such names!!!:eek:

Now you know very well your screen name is inappropriate.
