I'm not a teacher, but I did work in the DA's office as an intern for a semester, and part of my job was entering new felonies in the database. I can't really reveal the names I came across due to confidentiality rules, however, I sure came across some doozies. By the end of my time there I had a running mental list of names never to name my future children.
My boss there had recently had a child, and she told me that the nurse there mentioned that she recently helped deliver a baby named RigaTony. Apparently, the mother is of Latvian descent and really likes the name Tony. Poor kid. You think these parents hate their kids or something. I once knew someone named Becca Becker.
I actually despise my own first name, though it's fairly common. Someone started calling me by my first two initials early on in college, and it stuck, so only my parents call me by my first name. I share my name with a fairly well know female political figure, and I think this contributes to my hatred of my name because people consistently make jokes about it or compare me to her. A friend of mine told me the other day that I was far more attractive than her; I guess he thought that was a compliment? I was like, gee, thanks, thats like saying I'm smarter than Snooki.
