Tacky names for my children

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s a cool name - it’s like Tommaso Masaccio</p>

<p>I insist that he names his redheaded offspring Ginger. </p>

<p>^ All they need is a brunette Macie and blonde Dody.</p>

<p>I know three brothers and their names are: Herman, Sherman, and Therman.</p>

<p>I know twins with the names: Beau and Buzz</p>

<p>I know this guy and his middle name is: Zebulon</p>

<p>I’ve always thought Harvey was a rather lame name.
It’s probably just me though</p>

<p>I know someone named Snow White.
Man, her parents.</p>

<p>I know a couple who named their son Sunshine because he was the “ray of light in their lives”. </p>

<p>I guess he could be nicknamed “Sunny/Sonny” and avoid the humiliation. He’d just have to pray that his teachers don’t get sick and that the subs won’t read the list of legally correct names.</p>

<p>I’ve never understood parents who do stuff like that^. For example they could have named him ‘Samson’ or any of the other names that mean ‘sun’</p>

<p>They were frank folks.</p>

<p>I supposed they appreciated the more literal term. Although their son will definitely not appreciate their ill thought out decision. When they told me his name, I was rendered speechless for a few moments before finally choking out a painful smile.</p>

<p>Well, maybe he could be referred to by his middle name.</p>

<p>I am a teacher’s aide in a 1st grade ESL class. Foreign kids have awesome names.
One is Juna. And Salina. I just love those names. </p>

<p>Now, a tacky name that comes out of that (tacky in English terms- probably not in his native language) is KiLo. That kid is gonna get so made fun of.</p>

<p>^ That reminds me of Lilo and Stitch. That is infact bad. Even with the capital L?</p>

<p>^ Yeah… Lo might be his last name but it is always written as KiLo. He has recently told us though that his name is KiLo (something in Burmese that I am not even going to pretend to spell). Since Burma doesn’t use Latin letters, people kind of just have to guess at first and last names. I have REALLY interesting names in that class.</p>

<p>There’s a difference between “tacky” and foreign though.</p>

<p>^ I know. I said it would be tacky if it were a born-American child’s name.</p>

<p>Hence the <a href=“tacky%20in%20English%20terms-%20probably%20not%20in%20his%20native%20language”>quote</a>
