I can top that. One year, out of 22 kids (2nd Grade), I had 12 that had 1st names that started with "A".

My favorite year was teaching PE. My 3rd grade class had: Kasey, Casey, Kaylee, Kayla, Kelly, Kenny, Kelsey, Kara, and Kylie. Try yelling 1 kid's name on the play field and see how many answered.

"Kayla!"

"Me?"

"No, Kaylee. Kayla!"

"Me?"

"No, Kara. Kayla!"

"Me?"

And on, and on. Funny, the kid I was calling never seemed to answer.
