Cougar?

HAHA totally kidding! But I was subbing today for a child named Cougar. I thought,"what kind of a parent names their child Cougar"? (it was written on the teacher's attendance, on his desks etc..)

Well I finally figured out that his real name is Isaac. I asked him why everyone calls him Cougar, he said that it came from his mom saying her was very fast.

Anyway long story short, stop worrying about figuring out a NN for your child before they are even born. I'm sure Cougar's mom never expected Isaac to turn into Cougar!

 On another note, there was a boy in the same class named Saige....yuck!!! If your going to go with a feminine sounding, herb...at least spell it right!!

    I was totally going to post this the other day, but one of my volunteers at work is named Cougar. This woman is in her late 30's too, and yes it is her actual first name, not a NN.

    A few years back I had a student named Cougar.  His father said it was because they used to call him Gato in the womb (Spanish for cat), but didn't think Gato was a manly enough name, so they went with Cougar. 

    On a side note, one of our neighbors is a woman named Tiger, real name, not a nn.  She's probably mid-30's.
