The child interestingly enough. When I first read it I said "Zu-Leem-a" and she cringed so I asked her to sound it out for me and the "lame" pronunciation is what she gave me. I met the mom at the end of the week who was from Spain, but she only ever called her "Zuzu". Perhaps there is an 11 year old somewhere laughing at how silly she made me look for a week...

About "remixing" popular names: My g-daughter had a Halloween party and invited guests from school.
One little girl's name: MacKaylee.
Another parent complimented her on it and she mentioned that she could not choose between McKenzie, McKayla, and Kaylee. So they combined all of them. Wow.

I know a lady named Marijhuana Brown and I've encountered a woman named Klamydia once. I lol'ed on the inside when I found out their names.

^^^ I went to middle school with a girl name Phallen. I always thought it was an interesting name.

I know a girl named Fallon, pronounced the same but obviously spelled differently.

My wife had a little girl named Klashang.
We will not use the name Lily because our neighbor across the street has a dog named Lily.

Bumping because I was reading this thread and wondering how some of these kids will ever make it through life... I can only imagine an HR person getting a resume with the name "Shithead" or "Araya Sunshine" at the top.
On another note, although I am not a teacher, I am at the age where all of my friends seem to be popping kids out within days of each other. There are 9 (yes, 9) Eva/Ava's, 3 Sophies, and 4 versions of Mackayla just in my group of acquaintences that have been born over the past year or so. Also, my goddaughter was named "Bella" about 4 years ago, before her parents had even heard of Twilight. I'm sure there are millions of those now, too.

The nicknames are killing my husband; he won't use them anymore. He probably hopes that he'll never teach another CoCo, RieRie, or Sputt.

Yep, 2 Sortino's (same names, different middle initial, both first cousins), and a Gallaro, also a first cousin to the Sortinos.
(8 Olivia's, not 3, I don't know why I duplicated that. Now I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what that name was supposed to be...)

It seems like 80% of the little girls at work are named:
Emma
Isabella
Madison (with other variations such as Maddisyn, Maddyson, and Maddisen.)
Kylie/Kaylie (with many other variations on the spelling e.g. Kaylee/Kylee)
Madelyn/Madeline. (with lots of crazy variations there too e.g. Madelynne)
Seriously, if you don't know a girl's name, just start yelling out these names. One of them is it.

Emma was my 3 that I doubled listed as Olivia! We know 3 little Emma's. Damn you "Friends!"
Only 2 Bella's, and we know one Landyn. I'm over Maddie. I think it's an adorable name. But there's SO MANY. I did not want my kids to be know as "Firstname I" (I as in initial). So many kids in my daughter's class have to go by last initials too. If we have to do it eventually, fine.
OH, thought of a boys name I'm over: Carson. Again, cute name, but everyone and their brother around here used Carson when Carson Palmer was popular (Cinci Bengal quarterback). I can think of 5 we know in SW ohio alone.

The "stay away" name at my job is Kimberly. If your patient is named Kimberly, she WILL be the most difficult, dramatic, manipulative person to deal with out of your entire caseload.
