What a great thread! Ok, for boys.... the name Anthony has dreadful associations for me. Every Anthony I have ever taught has been a nightmare. For girls, Amanda. Oh, and the name Ashley...I haven't had any difficult girls named Ashley, just really chatty ones. I had 2 kids named Dylan one year, both dreadful. I heard some "interesting" names, too. Like the kid named Juvee who is always sent to my class for detention...

Tri deezy, I had a Logan in the first class I ever taught... he was kicked out of, I kid you not, four private schools.. and he was in the 5th grade.

Wow, that P.E. class list a few pages back reminded me of one of my High School Classes. In a class of about 30 we had:

Jesse, Jessica 1, Jessica 2, Jessica 3, Jennifer 1, Jennifer 2, Johanna, Jordie, Jodie, Josie, Johnny and Jordan.

Was your classroom at the Duggar's dining room table?

Michael- I used to like this name until I had a total a$$ of a student, now I can't stand it. (This kid was beyond wretched, he called me a f***ing slut, f***ing whore and f***ing bitch, and he was still in my room the next day).

Result of a discussion on this topic in the teachers' lounge: the top names they won't name their kids are geographical names like Dakota, Austin, and Savannah, as well as initial nicknames that end with J: AJ, DJ, TJ, etc.

I'm becoming anti-Emma

Anferny

Fred, Janee, Dakota, Chloe, Dontae, Kyle, Austin, Dominic, Hugh, Derrick, Tia, Caleb..so far that's about it.

^^^LOL. I need to watch that movie again. So funny.

It could've been, lol. That's what my teacher said when she read the roll call. "Who are you guys, the Duggars?" Needless to say it made for an interesting semester.

me too.

where I work there are 2 Emma's in my room and 1 of them is a total brat.

I'm not liking the name Natalie anymore, because of the girl in the room who is also a total brat.

As for boy names I'm not heading towards anti-Jacob, Evan and Brady

School is out, bwa ha ha, and I haven't worn a pair of shoes in 3 days!!!!!

Remember what I said a few posts above about all the AJs, DJs, TJs, etc.? Well, I still feel that way about the names but I'm feeling a little guility because one of the 6th graders who's thusly named left a note on my desk:

"Dear Dr. (badly spelled last name), I hop you will be my Spanish teacher again next year."

Love, _J
