Names of students I or teacher friends have had in the past.
2 brothers names Jail (pronounced Ja-eel) and Prison (pronounced Pe-ree-son). I used to laugh when the mom would get uptight over everyone mispronouncing their names. She was a flaming idiot.
Dijonnaise (like the mustard), her brother Dijon, and little sister Dojonaise. The parents were idiots.
My personal favorite, Jack Inoff. No joke. He used to be a student my mother-in-law taught over 20 years ago. The guy is probably in some serious therapy now because his parents gave him that effed up name.
I also went to junior high school with a girl named LaCola. The problem is that in Spanish, this means "the ass" so she was mocked horrendously.
