Not a teacher, but I used to tutor at a community college and I once had a girl named Febreze, spelled just like the fabric freshener! Given, she was born before Febreze came out, but poor thing !

These names from classes at my old school ( I taught in downtown Boston). Those urban kids have the best names - they have my suburban students beat by far when it comes to creativity!

The Rumbling Tummy
My husband is a cop and he had someone come in that had a daughter named Female ( they pronounced it femaley) and told DH that it was the name the hospital gave her.
A girl i went to school with wanted to name her daughter B*tch Im-unique (not sure how she was going to spell it). But her family had a fit so she changed it.

This is actually an old joke - this is not a real name. I heard this YEARS ago.
In my bag: Nikon D90; 35mm 1.8, 90mm 2.8 macro (my fave), Lensbaby Composer with macro extensions. BFP after 13 cycles and one ectopic. Lost left tube 5/19/10.
I have a unique name. It has made life more difficult. Some find it hard to pronounce. Any time I have to give my name, I don't even bother saying it, I just start spelling it. My teachers had a week to learn it, if they didn't get it in that time frame, I just answered to whatever they came up with.
I am a hairstylist by night and clients have a hard time with my name.
My PSA: think about it before you give your child a unique name. I don't love or hate my name, I just find life a little harder.

A guy I went to high school with was named Justin Case.
So did I! There is also a man in my town named Harry Butt, I'm not even kidding! They are twins, Harry and Larry! I went to school with Harry's son, Chris! Seriously feel sorry for someone with the last name Butt, but to add the first name of Harry onto that... it's bordering child abuse!
I've never even heard of these being names! One of my teacher friends had a student whose mom said the hospital named her daughter FOR her.... pronounced bab-ee-girl... babygirl.
What the crap?

Re: Teachers: most "unique" name??
I have never had any really side eye worthy names besides Neveah
But in College I had a class with a guy whose name was Fok U.
I don't have these students, but a friend of mine in my building had two girls with the names Secret and Cashmere. Hmm.
Another friend who taught kindergarten a few years ago had a student named Ja Rule. At least he was named after an awesome rapper.
Seriously, my friend when in HS had a Vice Principal named
