Perhaps the births were particularly painful?

I was dumbstruck that 5 people came up with Zytaevius, with the same spelling.

Many years ago, a teacher I know told me about a set of twins in her student teaching class...the sister was named Nancy and the brother was named Satan. She said his behavior closely matched his name. So, Lucifer didn't surprise me as much as it might have.

Angelo and Giovanni as their mothers LIED not only to my administration but to CID accusing me of child abuse. Even if I liked those names, I don't know.

I also could never name my kid Cody. Every Cody I've ever had was HORRIBLE!

I know one man named "Happy", two girls named "Lovely", and countless "Blessy"(s) (ironically Happy's two sisters are actually Lovely and Blessy)

I had a Shaleah and a Thalia (pronounced Ta-Leah) in the same class (geometry) last year. In a different class (algebra 2) I had a Dhaakira (Dah-Kira) and Jakira (Jah-Kira). In the same class as Dhaakira and Jakira I had a set of identical twins. Oy vey.

I went to HS with a kid who was named Dick Putz. His first name was Richard and he (on his own) picked Dick instead of Rick, etc. He was one year above me. I was never able to say his name without giggling.

My husband had a freshman year roommate named Oral Lackness. I kid you not. I have met him. WTF?!

I would never name my children Malia or Gabriel. They were two of the worst children I have ever worked with. As stated in earlier posts I would also never name my child Jaden, not because I don't like the name but because there are just so many of them. There were 3 at the Sunday school I used to teach at and 4 at the preschool I work at now. Apparently J names are really popular now so nothing with a J either. Last year alone 6 of my 13 students had names beginning with J. And just as many in the other preschool classes.

At my old school, a bunch of us teachers were avoiding work and sharing stories one morning and an English teacher told all of us that she once had a female student named....

Vaginae (VAJA-NAE).

Never....ever....ever would I name a child that. Ever.

I knew a set of twins a few years back who were named "Deion" and "Dieon" (pronounced Dee-yon and Die-yon) I know the spelling is correct because, well, their mom had their names tattooed one on each shoulder.

The NYTimes just published a story about a homeless young lady in NYC named Dasani. After the water. Her mother's name is Chanel, so...

Not a teacher but school made it very clear I would never use the names:
Kalynn
Shannon
Matthew
Adam

============================
When I was a new Lieutenant in Germany I went into a gasthaus for lunch. The daily special was 'Oxen schwanze suppe' I did not realize what schwanze meant in German being only familiar with it as the Yiddish word for penis. So I was not about to order "Bull Dick Soup". Somehow that just did not sound at all appetising.

One of my teacher friends decided to name her daughter "Makynzie"
