Pardon me if I've already mentioned how much I hate the name Austin. Every one I've taught has been a holy terror!

Angry got one for you

I have a friend who is a teacher and was tutoring an 8th grader while she was on (ahem) maternity leave....anywhoo she named her darling daughter:

Diamond Blaze ...

Now here I thought Chris Rock had it good when he said his main job is to keep his daughter off the pole. With that name, you just insured her top billing on the marquis...Sad really sad.


FAIL!

Speaking of "the pole" I have a child in my purview named "Sparkle." Guaranteed stripper!

Sorry if any of you is named Sparkle.

A friend of mine's mom is a special education teacher in an elementary school, so I've spent some time talking with her, etc.

One year, she had a girl on her roster named....SHITHEAD.

But, it was pronounced Shi-Tay-Ed. Spelled Shithead, though. Imagine that one the first day of school or as a substitute.

Never ever give your kid a name that is easily mistaken for profanity. It's just not nice.

Just like little "Roxy Kendra" in my god-daughter's dance class.

Our kids' high school had recent sister grads named Sparkle and Twinkle. Oddly, they were from India.

Dumb question, but who was on maternity leave, your friend or the 8th grader? It could go either way with the way the post is read. I hope it was your friend and not the 8th grader though.

That's what I thought too, but kids don't usually get maternity leave from school...which is why I asked. Normally it's some sort of independent study agreement.
