The likelihood
of my having children gets slimmer and slimmer. that's fine by me. if i had a biological clock, i don't know it. the batteries are dead i suppose. i work for a company that takes photographs of newborns in some hospitals. it's really cute. but i gotta tell ya, some days i wonder if some of these kids are just out-and-out going to have problems right from the get go because of their names. granted i'm all for creativity and such, but some are just plain ignorant, some get too crazy with the accent marks, removing all but one vowel, every other letter capital, 5 hundred middle names, etc. i process the orders and i gotta tell ya, some of the things i see are a total mystery to me. certainly give us all a totally hearty laugh i tell ya......

I taught high school for three miserable years and boy, let me tell you some of the names I had in class.
In one class I had: Andre, D'Andre and D'Undre. I had a girl named Tyger. I went to college with a guy named Justin Case.
My aunt taught third grade for a few years and one little girl came and told her that her brother was born the night before. My aunt, regrettably, asked what the child's name was, and she was told... Pa'Ja'Mas.
Most of the weirdest names were actually Nigerian for some sort of phrase, like Go with God or something but.. a few students I had like Oluwaeseyi, interrupted me while I was taking roll to offer up a more American nickname before I had a chance to butcher their real name.
And, on the creativity of names, my kindergarten teacher told me that my mother spelt my name wrong. I went home and told my mother that. She quickly got a sheet of paper and wrote: "I am going to the store" and asked me to pronounce the 2nd word. I said 'AM'. She said, ok, now put a Y on that. AM-e? Exactly!
So, the next day I told my teacher that no my mother didn't spell my name wrong, but my teacher apparently didn't understand phonics. Needless to say I got in trouble.
