JA2340 16 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 At one time, the Diocesan Director of Education up around here was Paul Woodcock. Among his hirelings (which included the current Director, as it happens) his name was "splinter" from splinter dick = wood cock. Once taught Sunday School with a Phillipa Box. Lovely lass who was the epitome of chastity as far as I knew, at any rate. Link to post Share on other sites

A boy at my kids school has the delightful name of Jack Hoffman - not so bad until you hear a group of kids saying it fast and gesturing something rather best left for private confines. They also have the sweetest music teacher - a delicate flower of a lass - who is unfortunately Miss Seamon - her young charges are at the exact right age to get a giggle out of it on a daily basis.

JA2340 16 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 But ... back on topic, Over a number of years teaching secondary school (some at senior high level) I have some names I would NEVER EVER use for my own offspring. The recollections of a few a***wipes with these names would be enough to make me descend into the pit called "child abuse". Steven is one. Now, I know and respect/like a number of Stevens. However the memory of ONE student with that name would make me wary about having another in a class. Thankfully, I have retired from the classroom, so do not have that potential problem, and my baby is teaching elementary in London, (and I had the snip) so no more worries about what to call my kids!!

He used to sport a wicked "Pat Sharpe" esque mullet That reminded me of another footballing lemon, Celtic paid 6 million pounds for Brazilian Rafael Scheidt, his name was very apt!! Think he only played a handful of games, with the tabloids lambasting his name at every opportunity!! Link to post Share on other sites
