They didn't all have periods in them, did they? This is a mobile glitch, right? RIGHT?!?!?!!!

The periods are so the names don't show up in a search. 

@Mjreilly2 The Ra.zza name was written in purple, and it seemed all the girls were in pink/purple and boys in blue/green, so I am assuming girl.

The terrible ones are terrible I agree but omg, Edwin! Adorable! I am having another girl but I just fell in love.

Say.lor is really pissing me off.

Some of those are cute. And some of them are effing insufferable.

Really? That many unusual names in ONE class?

Why do I love Kosmo? I don't have the balls to use it but I do love it.

That was my thought too! There were like five or six more kids with totally normal names, but I couldn't remember what they were.

For perspective, this class was at an Arts Focus Elementary in a very young urban colorful neighborhood in Portland, OR. They have a school garden complete with chickens. So really, that many kids with odd names isn't that surprising.

I think we discussed Portland in a thread the other day.  Maybe we should take a board-trip to Portland.

That was also my thread (I think, unless others are talking about Portland) with the kids names No.va, Zap.pa and I.sis. It's AMAZING some of the odd names you come across here.

Board trip sounds totally necessary! You can all sleep at my house! (Except that I like in a tiny 2bd apartment. Haha!)

These are pictures of the neighborhood that the school is in:

PORTLAND IS AMAZING!  My mom is from there & I still have tons of family there - we spent many summer vacations in Milwaukie.  Board field trip???  This is one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

Yes, Portland IS amazing! We love it so much here and can't imagine living anywhere else.

Yeah, that's the post I was referencing.

Thanks for sharing the photos. I think I'd like Portland.

I'm from just outside of Portland, @brownmouse! I'm down for a board field trip.  

After seeing the unique names on that class list, I think my kids will fit in around here just fine.

Edwin is my Grandpa's name.  He was trendy and didn't know it.  ;-)
