Most interesting student names?

General Name Discussion
1

Calling all teachers or anyone who has worked with kids at some point!

Not sure if a similar thread exists, but I haven’t seen one so here goes!

List the most unusual/interesting/unique or just your favorite names of students you have had throughout the years!

I’ll list mine too, though I haven’t been teaching long so my list will be kind of short.

Wanika (pronounced wun-EE-kuh)
[name_m]Chayse[/name_m] (girl)
[name_f]Star[/name_f] (girl)
[name_f]Queen[/name_f]
[name_m]Luciano[/name_m]
Common names spelled uniquely ([name_u]Dekota[/name_u], Adellyn, [name_m]Jaydan[/name_m])

I’m not a teacher, but when I was in school, there was a girl called [name_f]Venus[/name_f]. I think she had a sister with a unique name too but I can’t remember what it was.

I actually went to school years ago with a girl named Uneek (pronounced as [name_u]Unique[/name_u])

I’m not a teacher but I used to be friends with a guy called [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_u]Kerr[/name_u]. But everyone called him [name_m]Joe[/name_m]. So his name was in effect JoeKer… Lol…
[name_f]My[/name_f] partner also was friends with two brothers in school called [name_m]Mark[/name_m] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]… Which is actually a name of a well known brand/shop here in the UK…

I knew a girl called [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] who had 6 or 7 sisters who were also called [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f]. They all had two first names, the second of which always began with an S. She was the only one who went by [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] and her sisters went by their second S name.

I went to school with a girl named Ch@yse in high school!

In college, I knew a boy named C0urt [name_f]Street[/name_f] (fn ln). Wish I could’ve worked with him on a project so I could’ve asked if he had a sibling named Road or Avenue…
