Not a teacher, but a camp counselor. I once had a camper named "Araya". Fellow staff and I stared flabbergasted at it all week. One day for an "ice-breaker" discussion we had kids go around and share their middle names. This girl, who I might add has BRIGHT red hair, proudly said: "Sunshine!" A-ray-a Sunshine. I still don't understand it. Other favorites have included Knox, Cannon, and Zulema [zoo-lame-a]. I'm also get a kick out of the parents who try to take the big names and make them unique with spelling. Hence how you end up with an Aidan, Aydin, and Aidon all in one cabin.
